Super Lemon Ice Cream image

This is tart and sweet and refreshing, and EASY! No custard-making, no hours of refrigeration, although it does require an ice cream maker. Be sure to read the instructions before prepping your ingredients; this will require 2-3 lemons. From "The Perfect Scoop" by David Leibowitz.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups half-and-half
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Zest lemons directly into food processor. Pour in sugar and process until the sugar is faintly lemon-colored and the zest is finely ground.
  • Juice the lemons you just zested and pour the measured juice into the sugar/zest mixture. Blend until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add half and half and blend. If desired you can add a few drops of yellow food coloring at this point, as the finished product is a very pale, clear, almost-yellow color.
  • Chill for about an hour; the product may break up, but just stir it back together.
  • Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
