    Title: Watermelon Sundae
    Categories: Fruit, I scream, Chocolate, Booze
    Yield: 1 Servings

    15 oz Cold container whole-milk
    - ricotta
    +=OR=+
    1 2/3 c Fresh ricotta
    3 oz Cream cheese; softened
    1 c Cold whole milk
    1 c Sugar
    2 tb Dark rum
    1 ts Finely grated fresh lemon
    - zest
    1/2 ts Vanilla
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/3 c Cold heavy cream
    4 1/2 lb (to 5-lb) wedge of
    - watermelon; in 1" slices,
    - chilled
    1 oz Fine-quality bittersweet
    - chocolate; shaved

    SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: an ice cream maker

    Fresh and creamy all at once, this clever combination of
    rich ricotta ice cream and icy-cold watermelon chunks is
    a twist on the classic Creamsicle. Shaved bittersweet
    chocolate complements both flavors beautifully.

    Blend cheeses, milk, sugar, rum, zest, vanilla, and salt
    in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream and
    blend until just combined, about 5 seconds.

    Freeze mixture in ice cream maker, then transfer to an
    air tight container and put in freezer to harden, at
    least 3 hours.

    Put scoops of ice cream on watermelon slices and top
    with chocolate shavings.
