Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest from about 2 large lemons
  • ½ cup (plus 2 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 3-4 large lemons

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to reduce the initial chilling time. You can place them in the freezer an hour before you start. It is also advisable to use a chilled bowl and whisk to mix the ingredients.
  • It's best to freeze the ice cream overnight so that it's hard enough to scoop. However, you can enjoy it right out  of the ice cream maker for more of a soft serve ice cream texture.
  • Important tip - Do not over-fill your ice cream maker. Fill it a third of the way to allow the machine to aerate the milk mixture as it churns so it does not overflow.
  • To avoid ice crystals and maintain a creamy ice cream, do not melt and refreeze. Keep the ice cream frozen at all times to keep the texture smooth and creamy for longer.
  • Allow the ice cream to sit out for about 10 minutes at room temperature for easier scooping.
