Ingredients
- 300 ml (11 floz/ 1¼ cups) whole milk (full fat)
- 200 ml (7 floz/0.85 cups whipping or heavy cream
- 2 large fresh lemons - zest only unwaxed/organic
- 100 g (3½oz/½ cup) caster sugar
- 8 egg yolks organic
- 1 tablespoon dried milk
- 1 tablespoon limoncello (optional, or replace with lemon juice)
Instructions
- Cool a bowl in the fridge until step 5.
- In a medium saucepan, heat together the milk and cream with the lemon zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, dried milk and yolks until pale and creamy.
- Pour the warmed cream over the mix and return to the pan over a medium heat, whisking constantly until the cream thickens. It’s ready when it can coat a spoon.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled bowl and leave to cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn until ready (following manufacturer's instructions). Spoon in to an ice cream carton, seal and freeze for about 2 hours or more.
Notes
- Tip for grating lemon zest: ensure lemons are organic and not waxed, washed and dried. Grate the yellow zest finely and avoid grating the white pith underneath, as this is bitter.
- Measures: Please note that all my recipes are best made using digital kitchen scales in precise metric grams. Both ounces (and cups) are given as an approximate guide.
