Very very good, my husband loved it and he is more of a chocolate person than a citrus person like me. The recipe calls for a LARGE lemon and that is important. I had two small lemons and made a double batch. I mixed everything in the KitchenAid, the milk and sugar first until sugar disolved, then the lemon and zest and last the heavy cream. Poured into an electric ice cream maker (Cuisinart) and let the fun begin! I always sneak a taste while it churns and it was so darn good I had to carry a spoonful to hubby (on the sofa). He usually doesn't like to be disturbed while watching fishing shows but his eyes lit up like a little boy on Christmas morning! But, next time I must use either large lemons or twice as many small ones. This ice cream makes a really good float with Sprite. Very Yummy on a hot summer night.

I thought this was very easy to make and very flavorful. I made this for the first time for my son and new daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner recently. It went over OK. I'm not sure if every one was too full or for some I think it may have been too tart. I will make it again though. I did receive several compliments on it!!

LOVED this! Based on other reviews, I cut the sugar to a little over 1/2 a cup and that was fine. Lovely, lovely lemon flavor...I wanted to eat the zest and sugar by itself...the scent was amazing! Everyone loved this...it set up and froze nicely. We'll definitely make it again!

A bit sweeter than I prefer but it was amazing, Lemon flavor was strong which me and my family loved! I did whip it a couple times during freezing like some of the other reviews suggested texture was wonderful. Will try other flavors as well soon!

I'm sure this is delicious, but I wanted to share my story. I bought half-n-half instead of heavy cream, so I wasn't able to make the recipe that day. However, I had my heart set on citrus ice cream. So, I juiced a medium organic lime over a small dish of vanilla bean ice cream, then mixed it in thoroughly with my spoon. Delicious, refreshing, simple.

This ice cream is fabulously quick, easy and delicious. Because I had no lemons, I subbed 3 Tbsps. lemon juice, a tsp. of grated lemon peel, and a tsp. of lemon extract. To make it creamier, I used 1 1/2 cups cream and half a cup milk. I used my food processor for all the mixing. After pulsing the sugar and peel, I kept the processor on. Then I poured in the milk, cream, lemon juice and lemon extract. After about a minute, it was thick and frothy. I poured it in my Cuisinart ice cream maker, and half an hour later had a tart lemon ice cream my husband raved over.

Excellent recipe for homemade without an ice cream maker - and SIMPLE. I would serve to company and to the kids. My kids loved it! I'm going to try it with an orange later this week, and another batch with some cocoa powder in place of the lemon - I'll keep you posted!
