Lemon Ice Cream Recipe (No-Bake, Ready in 10 Minutes)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of chilled milk (full-fat works best)
• 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 cup of sugar (adjust to taste)
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Mix the Lemon and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Add the Milk: Gradually pour the chilled milk into the lemon-sugar mixture, stirring constantly. The mixture will start to thicken slightly as the lemon juice reacts with the milk.
3. Optional – Lemon Zest: If you want an extra burst of lemon flavor, stir in the lemon zest.
4. Whip the Mixture: Using a hand whisk or an electric mixer, whip the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes creamy and slightly frothy.
5. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer.
6. Chill for 10 Minutes: Let it chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes. It won’t be fully frozen but will be a soft, creamy texture perfect for immediate serving.
7. Serve: Scoop the lemon ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy!

Tip: If you want a firmer texture, leave it in the freezer for an additional 30-40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
