You won't regret it! Thanks to ChezSuzanne and drbabs among others with all their inspiration, I did last summer. This was my first recipe with it, too!

It's funny; I was thinking of an ice cream with chili peppers, too! I didn't remember this from last summer.

Well, I did change the name for this week. I bet there will be other ice cream recipes, so you should go forward with yours!

I have the same ice cream maker attachment, and I find it tricky to pour into. Your use of of ricotta cheese in the ice cream is quite original, and so appealing. I'm with Lizthechef as a fan of your culinary creativity.

Thank you. I just happen to have ricotta and thought it would pair well with the roasted peppers. It was really good right when I made it. Tonight I needed to let it sit for a good 5 minutes for everything to soften again. I really do like the hot paprika as a controlled garnish!

Did you remove the skins of the peppers after roasting?

Ab_sum Reply

Yes, completely! I did that over a bag inside, but my photo just shows my roasting process outside.
