Ever dreamed of being able to make amazing ice cream at home? Thought about investing in a fancy ice cream machine, but struggled to justify the expense? Well, the good news is you can make wonderful ice cream at home WITHOUT a special ice cream maker.
A few years ago, I spent a lot of money on an ice cream machine. And while we had some good times together, I knew there had to be an easier way to make the luscuious ice cream treats I love so much.
So after much trial and error, I came up with a method for making ice cream, without my machine. It works a treat. So good in fact that I’ve since ditched my bulky machine, and now just make ice cream this way. All you need is a home freezer and a whisk to whip cream. So what are you waiting for? 
Lemon Ice Cream
- Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
- Yield: 2 - 4 servings 1x
Description
This simple lemon ice cream is tangy and refreshing, made effortlessly without an ice cream machine. Perfect for a quick homemade dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 250g (9oz) icing (powdered or confectioners) sugar
- 300ml (1+1/4 cups) whipping cream, approx 35% milk fat
Instructions
- Combine the lemon juice and icing sugar in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, use a whisk to whip the cream until soft peaks just start to form and the cream has thickened slightly.
- Gently whisk the lemon mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth.
- Transfer the mixture into a shallow container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm. Stir the mixture every hour to prevent ice crystals from forming, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Once frozen, scoop and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade lemon ice cream!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits like lime for a unique flavor. If you prefer a subtler lemon taste, reduce the lemon juice to 1/4 cup. Stirring the mixture every hour while freezing helps prevent ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture. Store in the freezer for up to one week.
