Effortless Lemon Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined.
3. Fold Together:
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want it to stay light and airy.
4. Freeze:
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula, then cover it with a lid or plastic wrap.
5. Chill:
- Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
6. Serve:
- Scoop and enjoy your refreshing lemon ice cream!
This no-churn lemon ice cream is bright, creamy, and perfect for warm days! Enjoy!
