Preparation:
- Wash the strawberries, hull them, chop into half and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle them with caster sugar.
- Stir strawberries and sugar well, and then cover and leave to stand for 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes mash them with a hand blender or a food processor.
- Whip the whipping cream until it forms a soft peak.
- Beat together lemon juice and ricotta cheese. Fold it into the whipped cream.
- Mix all together and spoon into a freezer-proof container.
- Place the container in a freezer for 2 hours. After 2 hours take the spoon and beat the ice cream well, return it back to the freezer for another 6 hours or until it is completely frozen.
- Because homemade ice creams are really hard when frozen, remove the container from the freezer at least 20 minutes before serving.
