My grandmother would always make homemade lemon ice cream when she was alive. Sadly, since she passed away no one has made lemon ice cream at gatherings. To fix the lemon ice cream craving, I searched Allrecipes for a recipe that would give a strong lemon essence and...I found it! I was momentarily hesitant to try it because of the low number of reviews, but with the high number of saves and the use of natural lemon zest/juice, I decided to try it.
This ice cream is AMAZING. It is so delicious and is better than anything bought in the store. I only had 1/2 cup of the lemon juice, it was still very present in the ice cream! My daughter, who loves lemons on their own, this is awesome ice cream. She's eating a scoop right now trying to make it last. I wonder how even more delicious this would have been with the actual amount of juice it called for in the recipe.
The only negative for her, but not for me, is one that is easily remedied. She would have preferred less zest. The zest is needed to give a strong lemon flavor but you can always strain it out after cooking if you don't want it in your ice cream. (Think of it as lemon flavored coconut.)
This recipe is the only recipe I will use for lemon ice cream. No artificial flavors or ingredients, just pure lemon deliciousness!
