Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the aerated texture.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy your quick and easy lemon ice cream!
