How to Make Deliciously Tart Lemon Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy.
- Gradually whisk about 1/3 of the hot lemon mixture into the eggs to temper them, then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and let it cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and milk until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled lemon mixture into the whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-30 minutes).
- Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further before serving.
