Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and lemon zest until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
• Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture to lighten it.
• Add the remaining whipped cream and the lemon juice. Fold gently until just combined and no streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
• Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
• Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. For best results, let it freeze overnight.
• Scoop and serve. Garnish with extra lemon zest or a sprig of mint if desired.
