Instructions
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.
Notes
This lemon ice cream is wonderfully tangy and sweet. It's perfect for a hot summer day or as a light dessert after a rich meal.
