welcome friends it is summertime in Toronto which means it's hot and humid
so I thought I'd do another ice cream recipe and this one's really simple it's
a no cook lemon ice cream three ingredients super simple really easy to
make so we start out with 2 cups of heavy whipping cream now I was gonna put
that into this big mixing bowl scrape it all in make sure I get everything
because I know some people don't like that I don't scrape all of the bowls I
do usually off-camera next is the lemon and so first off I'm gonna zest the
lemons and I'm gonna use a microplane so that we get really fine gratings of
lemon now if you don't like the texture of that in your ice cream I kind of
really like it because it adds a lot of flavor you can leave this step out
you'll lose a bit of flavor out of the ice cream but it's not a huge deal okay
now we need to juice the lemons so I'm just going to cut in half and this is
the lemon juicer of choice that I use we have the ones where you squeeze it I
never find that I get as much juice out of the lemons that way or the limes for
that matter I find this just to be even though it's just a simple simple thing
and it's not very sexy I just find it to be the best way to get
lemon juice
okay last one now I've never measured how much lemon juice I'm putting in I
just always grabbed two lemons and it seems to be lemony enough I suppose if I
really wanted to I could figure it out and maybe I will and already the
description for the recipe but for the most part I don't worry about it two
lemons I get enough lemon juice I get enough lemon zest and everything works
fine so in with the lemon juice and we just start to whisk fat a little bit now
this will start to curdle the cream right away which is going to add a
certain something to the ice cream in terms of texture and the way it feels in
your mouth later when you eat it so get that whisked in don't have to be too
great with the whisking cuz you're gonna add next condensed milk now the
condensed milk is going to do a whole bunch of things but mostly it's going to
bring the amount of sugar that we need to the recipe and it's going to add
again a nice rich dense creamy consistency to the finished ice cream so
pour that in whisking while it goes in
okay just scrape the last little bit out of can and then we'll finish whisking it
together
now we're lucky enough to have one of these compressor type ice-cream makers
definitely not something that you need this ice cream recipe works just as well
with any of the ones where you've got the bowl you put it in the freezer
either ones that hand-cranked or that you plug in him that has an electric
crank doesn't matter now you're gonna notice as soon as you start to pour this
in look how thick that's gotten that's the lemon juice curdling the cream and
so you're gonna get just this amazing creamy ice cream out of this so finish
scraping this in and we'll turn it on and just let it do its thing
okay so the ice cream maker is done and let's turn that off
that sound could drive me nuts now at this point what you have is something
that is very much soft-serve and if you like soft-serve you can put this right
out on the table right away serve it right away this is kind of recipe that
is super easy to make during a dinner party and wow your guests with an
incredible dessert at the end I like it just a little bit stiffer so I'm gonna
move it to another container and stick this in the freezer just to firm it up a
bit
