Lemon Custard Ice Cream image

I heavily adapted this recipe from one I found on Epicurious. It's actally original now, since it no longer bears much resemblance to the original. Prep time does not include pre-chilling or freezing.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely minced lemon, zest of
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 1/2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Mix the zest, juice, cornstarch and sugar in a 4 qt saucepan.
  • Place over medium heat and slowly whisk in the milk.
  • Heat to 175 degrees, or until bubbles form around the edges, stirring quite often.
  • (scalding) Meanwhile beat eggs in a large bowl.
  • Temper the eggs with 1/2 cup of the hot milk and then whisk the eggs into the milk mixture.
  • Heat to 180 degrees, stirring constantly.
  • The custard should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Do NOT allow the mixture to boil.
  • Immediately stir in the cream and evaporated milk.
  • Strain through a siever into a glass or metal bowl and chill in an ice bath or allow to come to room temperature, then chill until cold.
  • Freeze in an ice cream maker.
  • Please note: If you like a lot of zest and are good at custards, it is not necessary to strain the mixture.
  • I would recommend zesting with a microplane grater in that case.
  • Sugar can be reduced for a more tart product, but add about 1TB of vodka at the end to keep it from freezing too hard.
