lemon gelato

Lemon ice cream has the perfect balance of sweet-tart ratio, that is both refreshing and enticing. While not quite an authentic lemon gelato recipe, this is a close smooth, creamy cousin and is bursting with fresh lemon flavor!

Lemon Ice Cream (Lemon Gelato)

milk

sugar sugar

whipping cream

lemon juice | about 2 medium lemons

lemons

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until sugar dissolves. Wait 1 minute, then check bottom of glass bowl to see if sugar is really dissolved, if settlement, then continue whisking.

Pour mixture into ice-cream maker freezer drum (frozen for at least 10 hours prior to making lemon ice cream) and process according to manufacturers instructions. Mine was about 25 minutes.

Transfer lemon gelato to loaf pan, 2 qt glass or plastic container with lid and freeze until desired hardness, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Keep ice cream covered with foil, plastic wrap or BPA free reusable silicone covers.

This lemon gelato recipe is made with just 3 simple ingredients and it requires less than 15 minutes of hands-on prep work. Super easy and delicious!

Lemon Gelato

lemons (enough lemon juice)

½ cups 2% milk

white sugar

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups milk and ¾ cup sugar. Over medium heat, heat until the sugar fully dissolves when stirred; do not boil. Transfer to a bowl and bring to room temperature.

Meanwhile, juice enough for 1 ½ cups lemon juice (about 6 lemons). Stir the lemon juice into the milk mixture, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours.

After the mixture is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker. Serve immediately for soft serve consistency, or freeze for another 2 hours for a firmer consistency. (Freezing overnight makes the gelato become rock-hard; if this occurs, you can bring it back to the soft serve texture by running it through a food processor.)
