  • 1 cup half and half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl gently stir together with a whisk the cream and sugar until the sugar dissolves, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  2. Gradually stir in the lemon juice and whisk to combine, then add the half and half combine well.

Notes

  • What is Caster/fine sugar -  is slightly finer and dissolves more easily than regular granulated sugar. You can make your own fine sugar just by blending granulated sugar until fine, but not powdery.
  • You can make your own half and half but combining 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of cream, mix to combine.
  • It will last for up to a couple of weeks, longer than that and the texture may become grainy with ice crystals. It should be kept in an airtight freezer safe container.
