I am going to make this soon! I have been inspired to make this ice cream and instead of just freezing in a container, I will pipe it into mini-pastry cannoli shells and freeze it that way! I can't wait to see how it comes out, ready to eat, and ice cream in a shell!

The ricotta give it an odd texture, but the taste was great! I left out the cinnamon and was generous with the chocolate.

Unbelievable!!! No one could believe I made the ice cream from scratch! I added 2 more squares of Baker's Chocolate because I am a chocaholic!

Took this to work and everyone loved it and I had to share the recipe. Used minichips to try to keep them suspended better but next time will let it start to freeze before adding nuts and chocolate.
