Cannoli Ice Cream ( No Ice Cream Maker Needed ) image

Ricotta lovers unite!!! Funny how most folks either love it or hate. Kind of like cilantro ;-) This was originally a recipe off a carton of ricotta cheese that I tweaked to lower the fat content as much as I could. This is incredibly decadent & so easy to make. Time to make includes freezing time.
