Lemon Ice Cream

Lemon Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Add the Lemon Flavor:
   • Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Chill the Mixture:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled. For best results, chill overnight.
4. Churn the Ice Cream:
   • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
5. Freeze the Ice Cream:
   • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. Cover with the container’s lid and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
6. Serve:
   • Scoop the lemon ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Garnish with additional lemon zest or slices if desired.
