Hello, friends. It’s Friday. At 4:45pm. And it’s almost dark. Craziness. I’ve been doing a lot of talking this week, so I’ve decided to change the pace and keep today’s comments brief.

Fresh Ricotta Ice Cream with Roasted Grapes and Toasted Walnuts

June 26, 2012

Last week, we talked frozen yogurt, and today it’s all about the ice cream. Fresh ricotta ice cream, to be exact. Yes, you read that right: this dessert is composed primarily of a soft cheese that I curdled right in my own kitchen, and it’s easier than you might think. Before we get into the details of how to make this magic happen in your own home, let’s consider the experience for a moment.

The more adventurous I become in my cooking, the more I open myself up to failure, and while that normally runs contrary to my perfectionist nature, I can’t seem to help myself.
