Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and use a hand or stand mixer to whip it on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
In a separate medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gently whisk these ingredients together until fully mixed.
Gradually fold the lemon mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Fold gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream while ensuring the mixture is fully incorporated.
Once mixed, transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Place the container in the freezer and let it set for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Once frozen, scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy, zesty homemade lemon ice cream!
