LEMON CUSTARD ICE CREAM

Lemon ice cream is like no other flavor you've ever had. The secret to this simple, bright recipe is fresh lemon juice and lots of zest. Unlike a sharp lemon sorbet, this ice cream is smooth and creamy from whisking in egg yolks and cream.

Categories     Dessert

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
5 tsp lemon zest (from 3 lemons)
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (strained (5 lemons))

Steps:

  • Mix the heavy cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt in a medium pot over the stove. Warm over medium-high heat until you see bubbles on the surface, approximately 9 minutes. Whisk occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as you see it boil.
  • Whisk the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Steadily and slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
  • Return to the pot and warm on the stove for 3-5 minutes until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. This means, you can run your finger through the liquid and when it won't fill back in where you drew a line with your finger.
  • Stir in the lemon juice. I highly recommend blending in a high speed blender for the most luscious texture and flavor. Cool the mixture in the fridge or use an ice bath to save time.
  • Pour the chilled lemon mixture into the freezer bowl of a 1 1/2-quart electric ice cream maker, and proceed according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container; press a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly on surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Place in freezer at least 4 hours or overnight.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cup(s) sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
3 cup(s) whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 tablespoon(s) butter
1 can(s) frozen lemonade (12 oz)
1 can(s) water (use lemonade can)
1 can(s) evaporated milk (12 oz)

Steps:

  • Beat egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside.

  • Stir in about 3 or 4 tablespoons of the hot custard mixture into the egg yolks, one tablespoon at a time. This is important because it brings the temperature of the eggs up so when you add the egg mixture to the custard it does not cook the eggs and make your custard lumpy.
  • Slowly stir in the egg yolk mixture into the custard mixture.
  • Return the custard to medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to boil for about a minute. Remove from heat.
  • Add butter and vanilla.
  • Stir and allow mixture to cool to room temperature.

LEMON CUSTARD ICE CREAM



Lemon Custard Ice Cream image

This recipe comes from the historic Old Salem Tavern in Winston-Salem, NC. No word on whether or not this frozen treat was served to George Washington when he visited (though I doubt it). This recipe is a bit involved, but I think you will agree it is worth the effort. This ice cream is especially good with gingerbread.

Time 6h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups half-and-half
1 cup cream
8 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 ounce lemon zest
2 1/2 cups lemon juice
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
3 ounces lemon juice (reserved for ice cream assembly)

Steps:

  • First, make the custard. Simmer half-and-half and cream in a saucepan. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Whisk yolks until light in color. Add sugar. Whisk together. Whisk warm cream into egg mix slowly. Put into a heavy saucepan. Heat and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. DO NOT simmer or boil the egg and cream mixture, as it will scramble. Cool to room temperature. Add vanilla extract. Refrigerate for about 5 hours.
  • Next, make the lemon curd. Put butter, sugar, lemon zest, 2 1/2 cups lemon juice, and salt into a double boiler. Heat until melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs. Slowly pour hot mixture from step 3 into eggs while whisking. Place the egg mixture back on the double boiler, whisking continuously. DO NOT simmer or boil. Cook until thickened.
  • Strain the curd and cool completely to room temperature.
  • Finally, assemble the ice cream. Run refrigerated custard mixture through an ice cream maker until it reaches soft serve consistency. Fold in the cooled lemon curd (which should be about 3 1/2 cups) and the 3 ounces of reserved lemon juice. Cover and freeze until very firm.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth custard base, ensure you whisk the eggs and sugar thoroughly before adding the heated milk mixture. This prevents lumps from forming.
  • Temper the eggs by gradually adding the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  • Strain the custard base through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or impurities, ensuring a smooth and velvety texture.
  • Chill the custard base thoroughly before churning. This helps the ice cream set properly and prevents it from becoming icy.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Zest the lemons before juicing to extract the aromatic oils.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon extract along with the lemon zest and juice.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream by freezing the custard base in a covered container and stirring it every 30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Conclusion:

Lemon custard ice cream is a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you are a fan of classic lemon desserts or simply looking for a new and exciting ice cream flavor, this recipe is sure to satisfy your cravings.
