Instructions
Prepare the Base:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir in the heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Chill the Mixture:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
Churn the Ice Cream:
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze the Ice Cream:
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve:
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Garnish with additional lemon zest or slices if desired.
Enjoy this Refreshing Lemon Ice Cream as a delightful finish to any meal or a cooling treat on a warm day. Its bright, citrusy flavor and creamy texture make it a refreshing and memorable dessert.
