Time 25m

Yield About 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

Zest of 4 lemons or limes, plus juice of 1 lemon or lime
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse together zest of 3 lemons or limes with granulated sugar until smooth and brightly colored.
  • In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, citrus sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
  • Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Remove from heat and allow custard to steep for 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the juice and zest of the remaining lemon or lime. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

This ice cream is really good, but it's a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a lighter recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn. I think I might have used too much cream.

This ice cream is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a bit more sugar next time.
