Time 12h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 ⅛ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons grated lemon zest
5 egg yolks
¾ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover saucepan and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover pan and bring back to a simmer over low heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually stir one cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, several tablespoons at a time. This will help to bring the eggs up to temperature without scrambling them. Stir the egg mixture back into the cream mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture just coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Stir the lemon juice into the cold ice cream mixture. Freeze in a 4 to 5 quart ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a lidded freezer container, and freeze for 4 hours to ripen flavors before serving.

Recipe by Nigella Lawson. I love Nigella's ice-creams and you don't need an ice-cream machine. I have another posted here Orange & Lime Ice-cream #71438, they are both so very good. I haven't allowed for freezing time because it can vary so much.

LEMON ICE CREAM (WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER)



Lemon Ice Cream (Without Ice Cream Maker) image

A wonderful real lemon ice cream, reminds me of lemon sherbet but creamier. Easy to make and refreshing on hot days. Make sure you squeeze fresh lemons for this one. Bottled lemon juice just doesn't measure up in this recipe.This is a combination of two recipes given to me by my Aunt.It's good topped with a few fresh raspberries. For those who love lime, just substitue fresh lime juice in place of the lemon.Cook time is freezing time.

Lemon Cream Recommendations

  • For a creamy texture: Ensure the condensed milk and heavy cream are chilled before starting. This will aid in achieving a thick, smooth texture upon freezing.
  • Avoid icy crystals: To prevent the formation of ice crystals, ensure the ice cream mixture is stirred every 30 minutes as it freezes. Alternatively, use a high-speed blender to achieve a creamy texture.
  • Lemon zest magic: Enhance the tangy, lemony taste by adding freshly zested lemons to the ice cream mixture. This provides a delightful citrus kick that balances the sweetness.
  • Patience is key: The freezing process takes time, so avoid rushing it. Ensure the ice cream is completely solid before serving to maximize its creamy texture and delicious flavors.
  • Add-in Delights: To elevate the ice cream experience, consider adding your favorite mix-ins such as fresh berries, chocolate, or crumbled cookies. This personal touch will make your homemade creation unique and delectable.
