I love food, I love to eat, I love to cook, I HATE to clean it all up! Thank you William Howard Livens for inventing the modern-day dishwasher. I am retired and currently doing what I have always wanted to do, I am a true blue Homemaker. My DH and I moved from our lifelong home in Hawaii to Arizona. We worked very hard, as most people do, so that we could indulge in life. We are having a blast!

This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated 2010 Italian Favorites magazine, I put my own twist on it by swapping out the Biscotti for Amaretti Cookies - AND double up on the crust.

6 C. Vanilla Ice Cream (I used an entire carton of Blue Bunny Premium, 1.75 qts.)

1 ½ C. Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese (I like Polly-O brand)

¾ C. Sweet Orange Marmalade

6 Tbsp. Dark Chocolate, chopped (I had some Ghirardelli Bittersweet chips and chopped those)

6 Tbsp. Pistachio Nuts, chopped (I like big chunks)

¼ tsp. Vanilla Extract

¼ tsp. ground Cinnamon

subheading: Crust:

6 Almond Biscotti Cookies (not the dipped or frosted type, just plain)

4 Tbsp. melted Butter
