Lemon Almond Ice Cream

Lemon Almond Ice Cream

Ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
– A pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)

Directions:
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl. In it, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves completely—this will take just a minute! Next, stir in the zesty goodness: lemon juice, lemon zest, and almond extract, plus that pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors.

Once everything’s mixed, cover the bowl and chill it in the fridge for about an hour. This step is crucial as it helps develop those lovely flavors!

After an hour, take your chilled mixture and pour it into your ice cream maker. Churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it has a soft-serve texture. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some sliced almonds for an extra crunch!

Now, transfer your creamy delight to a container and pop it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until it hardens nicely. When you’re ready to indulge, scoop yourself a bowl and enjoy the refreshing taste of lemon with a hint of almond
