How to make zesty lemon ice cream Ingredients

• Two lemons
• 150g caster sugar
• 300ml double cream

Method

Zest one lemon finely.

Juice both the lemons.

Strain the juice into the zest.

Stir in the caster sugar.

Gradually stir in the cream - it will thicken slightly as it is stirred.

Pour the final mix into a freezer-friendly container.

Tuck the container into the freezer.

Half an hour later, check if it's turned mushy.

When you hit the mushy stage, pull it out, give it a good stir with a fork, and pop it back in until it's completely set.

This homemade treat pairs brilliantly with cake or fruit, or scoop it right onto a cone to enjoy solo.

Feeling extra? Stir in some lemon curd for a more intense citrus twist.
