Super lemon ice cream
Sweet moments, naturally.

Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. Heat the cream.

    Warm the cream, half-and-half, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until steaming and the sugar has dissolved.

  2. Temper the yolks.

    Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then slowly whisk in about 1 cup of the hot cream. Pour the mixture back into the pan.

  3. Cook the custard.

    Stir over low heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon; don't let it boil. Strain into a bowl.

  4. Chill.

    Cool, then cover and refrigerate until completely cold, at least 2 hours.

  5. Add the lemon and churn.

    Stir in the lemon juice and churn in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

Before you indulge

Use Miracle Berry

Just before eating, take 2–3 freeze-dried halves. Chew gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds.

Discard any pit if necessary.
