Lemon Gelato Recipe

How to Make Lemon Gelato WITH Ice Cream Maker

1. Wash and squeeze the lemons. You will need about 125 ml (½ cup) of juice. Of course, it depends on the size of the lemons. About three lemons should be fine.
2. Strain the juice through a strainer to remove any seeds or peels.
3. Pour the strained juice into a larger container. Add the sugar to the lemon juice and stir.
4. Then add the heavy cream and finally the whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Pour the mixture into the basket of the ice cream maker, close it and start. After about 40 minutes (time may vary depending on the model of the machine) your lemon gelato is ready!

How to Make Lemon Gelato WITHOUT Ice Cream Maker

1. Wash and squeeze the lemons. Strain the juice through a strainer to remove any seeds or peels.
2. Pour the juice into a larger bowl. Add the sugar and stir. Then add the very cold whole milk. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Whip the cream with the help of a stand mixer or an electric whisk.
4. Then add the milk and lemon mixture and stir gently from bottom to top to combine. Pour the mixture into a gelato container and place it in the freezer for about 5 hours. Every 30 minutes you have to break the frozen surface. So remove from the freezer and mix for about 30 seconds using a hand whisk or an electric whisk on low speed.
