Cannoli Ice Cream

I saw a recipe for vanilla ice cream that didn't need an ice cream maker and a recipe for ice cream with cannoli inspired ingredients that looked like it didn't quite have enough cream in it for me and I didn't want to make homemade, fried cannoli shells, so I took the two recipes and morphed them with a few little changes and tweeks into one that resulted in the above pictured dessert.

Cannoli Ice Cream

2 cups heavy cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 - 15 ounce container ricotta cheese
4 ounces softened cream cheese, cut into small chunks
    Pour all of these ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat on medium to high for about 5 minutes or until soft peaks form.  Then gently fold in the following:
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pistachio nuts (I prefer the roasted and salted)
2 sugar cones, broken into small pieces
    After folding, pour the mixture into a loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap and freeze at least 6-8 hours.

Let the kids have the pink bubble gum stuff.  This is definitely a treat for adults with a discriminating palate!
