Happy First Day of Summer! It’s been feeling very much like summer around here for a while now, but today we make it official. Today in the DC area we will have nearly 15 hours of daylight! The added daylight is one of the things I love most about summer. Having the sun up before me makes it so much easier to not hit snooze! 

I am looking forward to lots of BBQ’ing out on our deck this summer! And what’s a BBQ without dessert! Being that my day job is in the ice cream business I rarely make it at home, but I really wanted to kick of the summer with an ice cream recipe you could make easily at home! No fancy machines, rock salt or liquid nitrogen, haha. 

This No-Churn Cannoli Ice Cream comes together with just a few ingredients in just about 5 minutes (not including freezing time). Using your electric mixer (stand or handheld) fitted with whisk attachment you are going to whisk together ricotta cheese and coconut cream for 3 minutes. Add in a can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk for 2 more minutes. Mix in vanilla extract and cinnamon for flavor and then fold in pistachios and mini-chocolate chips. This mixture gets layered into a frozen loaf pan and then put in the freezer for at least 4 hours. 

It freezes more pretty solid so you will need to give it about 20 minutes of thaw time before scooping. I recommend serving it in a waffle cone! 

As much as I am hoping this summer will go by slowly I am also looking forward to the fall when we will be heading on a trip to Italy with my family and eating some real, authentic cannolis!!! 

What are you looking forward to this summer!?
