Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine double cream, whole milk, and the zest of one orange. Warm gently over medium heat until steam begins to rise, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let infuse for 1 hour.
- Whisk 240 grams of fresh ricotta until smooth and creamy in a separate bowl. Set aside.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat. Warm the infused cream mixture until just below boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and caster sugar until smooth and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly pour the warm ricotta and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and heat over medium-low, stirring continuously for about 5-8 minutes until thickened.
- Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a jug to remove the orange zest. Allow to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn for about 20 minutes. In the last minute, add 50 grams of chopped dark chocolate.
- Transfer your ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 8 hours before serving.

Notes
