Ingredients

2	pounds	ricotta cheese
2	quarts	light cream
2	cups	sugar
5	each	cardamom pods
1	each	bay leaf
1	teaspoon	vanilla extract
1	x	rosewater	rose water, to taste (optional)

Directions

Mix 1 1/2 cups of sugar with the Ricotta cheese and bake it in a 400 F oven for about 75 minutes in a flat dish covered with aluminum foil. The cheese should have hardened and turned a pale brown.

Thicken the half and half by simmering over low heat for a long time. This is best done in a microwave; if a microwave is not available, do it over low heat and stir frequently. Thicken until the volume drops to around half of the original volume.

Add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cardamom pods, bay leaf, vanilla and rose water (and any other flavoring that you may want) to the Half and Half. Heat for a few minutes.

After the cheese has been baked, cut it into 1 inch squares and add to the hot thickened half and half. Cool for a few hours in the fridge.

Reviews

Half and Half is not at all confusing. It is a product name and is sold by that name regardless of brand in most of north america. Half and Half is a mixture of about 1/2 heavy cream and 1/2 Regular Homogenized milk

I have only one question. Please specify what is " half and half"? It is very confusing if you give a recipe that is not detailed and with no explanation.
