Lemon Ice cream

Today I was in the mood for something zesty and zingy and I couldn't think of anything more refreshing than ice cream made from lemons. You can serve it with hot lemon sauce, fruit and wafers. But I find the lemon rind bits enough to keep me happy. I have to admit my ice cream doesn't look like the picture on the website but as long as it tickles my tastebuds than job well done!




The recipe used comes from tesco realfood website.

Ingredients:

finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
100g icing sugar
600ml whipping cream

Mix together the sugar, lemon zest and juice and set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric whisk to whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Stir the lemon mixture into the whipped cream until well mixed. Spoon the mixture into a freezable container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firmly frozen. Remove from the freezer 10-15mins before serving to soften slightly. Alternatively if you have an ice cream maker just pour the mixture into the machine.
