This lemon and limoncello ice cream is completely legendary. I love limoncello, I love ice cream, and I find everything lemon absolutely incredible. So combining all three in a single recipe is just insane in your mouth. It’s the perfect summer dessert for warm evenings on the patio, but the best part is that you can make it year-round. In the dead of winter, scooping out a ball of this vibrant lemon ice cream is like having a ray of sunshine in your mouth in the middle of February. A heads-up to intense lemon lovers: you’re going to lose your mind.<\/p>\n
That’s the beauty of this recipe: no ice cream maker needed, no re-mixing every hour, no specialized equipment. You whip your very cold 35% cream to stiff peaks, gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and zest, limoncello and vanilla paste with a spatula, transfer into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, and pop it in the freezer and forget about it for 6 hours (or overnight). The result: a creamy, vibrantly lemony ice cream that tastes like sunshine. Completely set-and-forget.<\/p>\n
My trick that sets this recipe apart: vanilla paste instead of regular vanilla extract. You’ll find it at most large grocery stores, in a small screw-top jar, next to the vanilla beans in the baking section. It’s a mixture of fresh ground vanilla with sugar. Completely legendary in your mouth. It’s about $16 for the small jar, I know it’s pricey, but it’s absolutely worth it. The paste gives more depth, more aroma, and you can see the little black specks of fresh vanilla in the ice cream. If you can’t find it, a good splash of pure vanilla extract gets the job done too. But try the paste at least once, you’ll understand why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
