Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the fresh lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust the lime juice or sugar to your preference, keeping in mind that the flavors will slightly mellow when frozen.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes 15-20 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve the fresh lime ice cream in bowls or cones. Garnish with additional lime zest or a thin lime slice if desired. Enjoy!
