Fresh and refreshing, the lemon ice cream is a timeless ice cream flavour, that can be found in every ice cream parlour. Do you want to make it at home? Let’s see together how to do!
We’ll need:
• ¾ cup (180 ml) of heavy cream
• 1 2/3 cups (400 ml) of lemon juice
• less than 1 tbsp (5 g) of carob powder • less than 1 cup (200 ml) of water
• just over 1 cup (220 g) of white sugar
Let’s make together the lemon ice cream:
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and the water… then add the sugar… the carob powder… stir… and bring the mixture to 185° degrees Fahrenheit (85°C).
The carob powder is a natural thickener, that you can buy at health food stores or pharmacy; so, it helps make your ice cream thicker, but if you can’t find it, you can avoid it.
When the mixture reaches the right temperature, place in a bowl of water and ice to chill quickly. Once it’s cold, let it rest in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Now that the mixture is very cold, add the strained lemon juice. Then keep it in the fridge for at least one hour to cool it further.
Now pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and let it run until thick and firm.
The ice cream is ready, transfer to a food container with lid and keep in the freezer for at least 3 hours before serving.
