Lemon Ice Cream (Lemon Gelato)
Description
Lemon Ice Cream (Lemon Gelato) uses heavy cream and whole milk combined with sugar, lemon juice, and grated lemon zest for bright citrus flavor. The ingredients are blended to combine evenly, then frozen in a metal pan. Stirring every hour helps break up ice crystals and gradually builds a smooth, creamy texture close to traditional gelato.
The finished gelato is lemon-forward with a tangy, fresh flavor from the juice and zest balanced by the rich dairy base. The texture is creamy and soft due to the periodic stirring during freezing.
This gelato can be served scooped into bowls, cups, or cones as a refreshing dessert. For best flavor and texture, use organic lemons and ingredients as recommended.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (UK: double cream)
- ½ cup milk plus 1 Tbsp, whole
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ⅞ cup lemon juice (a little less than a cup)
- 4 Tbsp lemon organic, zest, grated
Instructions
- Pour the cream and milk into the blender container with the sugar. Then add the lemon juice.
- Blend for about 20 to 30 seconds then add the grated lemon zest.
- Blend again for a few seconds. Pour into a metal pan and place in the freezer for about an hour.
- Remove from the freezer and stir with a spoon. Repeat this two more times (twice in two hours.) You will see the mixture begin to take on the texture of ice cream. When it's ready, scoop into bowls, cups, or cones to serve.
Notes
- Use organic lemons and dairy ingredients for the best, freshest flavor.
