# Cheesy Ice Creams This Ricotta Gelato Recipe is Topped with Chopped Almonds and White Chocolate By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-03-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-recipe References: [apt2bbakingco](http://www.apt2bbakingco.com/home/2015/3/4/brooks-headleys-ricotta-gelato) This simplistic gelato recipe is almost ridiculously easy to make. Made by food blogger Yossy of Apt. 2B Baking Co. and adapted by a Brooks Headley dish, the ricotta gelato only requires four ingredients. To make your own ricotta gelato at home, you will need good quality ricotta cheese (preferably made from sheep's milk), simple syrup, honey and just a pinch of salt. Yossy also added some chopped up salty fried Marcona almonds and white chocolate for a crunchy textured topping. It also makes for a nice combination of sweet, salty and creamy. Other add-on suggestions are berries, roasted fruit, cacao nibs or tomato jam and olive oil. The gelato recipe makes for a fun and fancy yet uncomplicated twist on the [classic Italian dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sammontana-gelati-allitaliana). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Simplistic Gelato Recipes:** Opportunity for creating more simplified gelato recipes using minimal ingredients and easy preparation methods. - **Unique Gelato Toppings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in developing new and creative gelato toppings to enhance flavor and texture. - **Customizable Gelato Creations:** Opportunity to offer gelato creations with customizable add-ons, allowing customers to personalize their dessert experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Innovation in gelato recipes and toppings can benefit the food and beverage industry by attracting customers with unique dessert options. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can leverage the trend of customizable gelato creations to enhance their dessert menus and provide a unique dining experience. - **Dessert Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation in gelato recipes and toppings can open up new opportunities for dessert manufacturing companies to create innovative and marketable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protein Ricotta Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannoli-dip.md) - [Baked Ricotta Cheese Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassata-baked-ricotta-cheese.md) - [Four-Cheese Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quattro-formaggi-ice-cream.md) - [Authentic Italian Gelato Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosta-mollica-gelato.md) - [Fruity Italian Ice Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raspberries-n-cream-cream-ice.md) - [Creamy Strawberry Gelatos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-cream-gelato.md) - [Single-Serve Gelato Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-cups.md) - [Sour Cream Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-creami-ice-cream.md) - [Italian-Style Plant-Based Gelato](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-plant-based-gelato.md)
