This Italian ice cream dessert is fantastic for Thanksgiving.
| 1 1/4 | cups milk | |
| 2 1/4 | cups sugar | |
| 3 | tablespoons butter | |
| 1/2 | cup dark rum | |
| 1 | pound ricotta cheese | |
| 1 1/2 | pounds chestnut puree (see Note below) | |
| 1/4 | cup chopped candied lemon peel |
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and 1/4 cup of the sugar and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
In a large stainless steel saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, the remaining 2 cups of sugar, the rum, and 1 cup of water and beat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the ricotta, chestnut puree, and candied lemon peel. Mix in the reserved milk-sugar mixture.
Process in an ice cream maker, and freeze. Scoop into bowls, and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings
Note: You can buy canned chestnuts, either whole or pureed. If whole, simply puree them in the food processor. If you want to use fresh chestnuts, you’ll have to peel them open, boil or roast them, and then puree them. For the purposes of this recipe, it doesn’t make much difference whether you use fresh or canned chestnuts.
Wow, this post is good, my younger sister is analyzing such things,
so I am going to tell her. Hello just wanted to give you
a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off
the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something
to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let
you know. The design look great though! Hope you get
the issue solved soon. Cheers Ahaa, its pleasant conversation regarding this
piece of writing at this place at this weblog, I have
read all that, so now me also commenting here.
Hi
Thanks for the comment. I’ll look into the problem with Opera. I know the blog formats well in Edge, IE, Chrome, Safari and as a mobile site.
Have a great Holiday season!

Hey outstanding website! Does running a blog such as this require a massive
amount work? I have virtually no expertise in coding but
I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyhow, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog
owners please share. I know this is off subject but I simply needed to ask.
Appreciate it! http://bodylovetribe.com/2016/08/09/3-responsibilities-women/
Hi,
Thanks for the comment.
We just started this blog so not sure how much time it will take up yet. I’m a computer consultant / web designer. I spend a lot of time putting other peoples voice on the web. I started the blog as a hobby to express my self. My best buddy, Jens, Wanted to contribute his thoughts so I gave him writer privileges. Watch for his first post in the near future.
You are already using WordPress for your site. It is easy to use, inexpensive, and designed for blogging. I used it for Michael’s Thoughts So Jens would not have to learn to code or use a professional tool like Dreamweaver (which is also a bit costly). What a full size business site needs and a blog is very different.
The biggest tip I can give you is get the premium (paid) version of your theme. That will give you more flexibilty in your over all look. Not all themes have premiums, but check into it. Next check the paid version of any plug ins. Some will be worth buying some not. Do not pay for one if you won’t use the added features
Happy Holidays
Michael
Good day! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace group?
There’s a lot of folks that I think would really appreciate your content.
Please let me know. Thanks
Hi,

It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this excellent blog!
I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this site with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
We will be deciding on adding a donate button after we get some more content up.
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically
tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you
would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into
anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
My best suggestion is looking through the Plug ins you can add from the dash board. Always check the features and then try the free version.
Happy Holidays!
Michael
