• Ready In: 6hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 pints non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt (softened)
• nutmeg (optional)
• roasted almonds (optional)

directions

1. Combine ricotta, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and nutmeg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth, about 5 seconds. Add the frozen yogurt and pulse to combine, about 5 seconds longer.
2. Transfer the mixture to a 9xl3-inch metal baking pan, or a shallow plastic tub and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze until partially frozen, about 3 hours.
3. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Do not overprocess. Return the mixture to the pan, cover, and freeze until firm, about 3 hours longer. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften before serving.
4. For individual treats, you can freeze the tortoni in paper cups. Divide the mixture into twelve 4-ounce paper cups and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, or overnight. Before serving, remove the cup and top with a sprinkle of nutmeg and toasted sliced almonds, if desired.
