How to Make Ricotta Gelato With Blackberry Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cook until the blackberries have softened and released their juices, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
  4. Let the blackberry sauce cool completely.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine ricotta cheese, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
  7. Once churned, transfer the gelato to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up further.
  8. Serve the Ricotta Gelato topped with the cooled blackberry sauce. Garnish with fresh blackberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest (optional).
