Luscious Lemon Ice Cream Recipes

HOMEMADE LEMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Prepare to make the ice cream by placing the Cuisinart bowl in the freezer for 24 hours.
• In a large bowl, place milk, whipping cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Whisk to combine, or use a mixer on low speed.
• Add lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine well.
• Cover and place in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the milk mixture from the refrigerator and gently whisk together.
• Remove the Cuisinart bowl from the freezer and place it on the ice cream maker.
• Pour the milk mixture into the frozen bowl.
• Add the mixing paddle and easy-lock lid. Churn for 20 minutes.
• When finished, put the ice cream in a freezer safe container.
• Freeze until firm.
• Garnish with fresh lemon zest if desired. Serve & enjoy!

LEMON CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix the heavy cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt in a medium pot over the stove. Warm over medium-high heat until you see bubbles on the surface, approximately 9 minutes. Whisk occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as you see it boil.
• Whisk the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Steadily and slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
• Return to the pot and warm on the stove for 3-5 minutes until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. This means, you can run your finger through the liquid and when it won't fill back in where you drew a line with your finger.
• Stir in the lemon juice. I highly recommend blending in a high speed blender for the most luscious texture and flavor. Cool the mixture in the fridge or use an ice bath to save time.
• Pour the chilled lemon mixture into the freezer bowl of a 1 1/2-quart electric ice cream maker, and proceed according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container; press a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Place in freezer at least 4 hours or overnight.

LUSCIOUS LEMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring the juice and zest along with 200ml water and the sugar gently to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
• Once boiling remove the zest immediately by either straining through a sieve or using a slotted spoon.
• Now boil the syrup for 4 minutes only.
• Meanwhile put the yolks and cornflour into a bowl. Using an electric whisk, whisk until the yolks are thick and then pour over the hot syrup whisking constantly until frothy and smooth.
• Once cool, fold in the whipped cream and freeze.
• Remove from the freezer at least 15 minutes before serving.
