1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese (see note), chilled

1 1/2 cups whole milk, chilled

3/4 cup "light" (clear) corn syrup (see note)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste

Optional mix-ins (see note)

Steps

In a blender combine ricotta, milk, corn syrup, and sugar. Blend until very well combined, about 30 seconds. Add salt to taste, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. If adding citrus zest, do so now. If adding larger mix-ins wait until ice cream has almost finished churning.

If ice cream base is sufficiently cold (below 40°F or 4°C), churn right away. If not, chill blender carafe in refrigerator until base cools.

Churn base in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. If adding chunky mix-ins, do so in the last minute of churning. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer for at least 4 to 5 hours before serving.
