Lemon Ice Cream Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Heavy cream |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Half-and-half |
| 3/4 cup | 148g / 5.2oz | Sugar |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Finely-grated fresh lemon zest |
| 5 tablespoons | 75ml | Egg yolks (large) |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Fresh lemon juice |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Limoncello |
| = (or other lemon-flavored liqueur or | ||
| Grappa) |
In a medium, heavy saucepan, bring the cream, half-and-half, sugar, and zest to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. In a slow stream, whisking constantly, add about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks. Beat until well incorporated.
Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan with the hot cream and bring to a bare simmer. Cook until a thick custard forms, and the mixture reaches 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 minutes.
Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container. Stir in the lemon juice and limoncello, and cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well-chilled, about 2 hours.
Transfer to an ice-cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight plastic container and freeze until ready to serve.
This recipe yields 1 quart.
