How to Make Sophisticated Southern Buttermilk Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
  6. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to allow it to harden further.
  7. Serve and enjoy your homemade Sophisticated Southern Buttermilk Ice Cream! Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of chopped pecans, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of deliciousness.
