You do not need an ice cream machine to make Cannoli Ice Cream. Use a traditional blender and mixer to mix the cannoli ingredients into your favorite ice cream dessert!

Magnified scoop of Cannoli Ice Cream.This Cannoli Ice Cream recipe is one of our favorites, and we've been enjoying it in the evenings lately during our Netflix binging.  What shows do you binge on Netflix?

You might wonder how you can make ice cream without an ice cream machine?  It's EASY!  Use your blender to blend the first couple of ingredients.  Use your hand mixer to whip up the cream and stir into the other ingredients.  Then FREEZE it!  It's creamy and delicious -- just like you made it in a machine!

Two scoops of Cannoli Ice Cream on top of pizzelle.This Cannoli Ice Cream makes you think you are eating an actual cannoli!  I might even prefer it this way in ice cream form!  Of course, I'm talking about the "Americanized" cannoli we are all familiar with, that's sweet and fattening and sooooo good.

I've never tried the real deal Italian version with candied citrus and other differences, have you?  I've heard it's hard to find that type of cannoli in the US!

Cannoli Ice Cream - No Ice Cream Maker!

You do not need an ice cream machine to make Cannoli Ice Cream. Use a traditional blender and mixer to mix the cannoli ingredients into your favorite ice cream dessert!
Prep Time10 mins
Total Time10 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American, Italian
Keyword: Cannoli Ice Cream
Servings: 1 + 1/2 quarts ice cream

Ingredients

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 15 oz whole milk Ricotta
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shelled and roasted pistachios , chopped
  • Cannoli shells (optional)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mix the sweetened condensed milk and Ricotta in a blender until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in the chocolate chips, pistachios and optional cannoli shells; set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then continue to beat until it just reaches stiff peaks. Do not over mix. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the Ricotta mixture until the two mixtures are evenly blended.
  • Transfer to a 2-quart freezer-friendly container and freeze for 4 hours before serving.

Notes

I like my cannoli sweet, which might not be so traditional in Italy. If too sweet is not your thing, just add less powdered sugar.

    I think I gained 5 lbs reading the recipe. My mouth is watering and I can't wait to try it. Think I will make sure I have plenty of friends over. I want to make sure there are no leftovers screaming my name 🙂

    I've had my eye on a cannoli ricotta mousse recipe for awhile. This blows it out of the water though.

    Cannolis are one of my all time favorite things, so this is obviously a win. So pretty!
