Lemon Ice Cream (Without Ice Cream Maker)

Submitted by redwine

"A wonderful real lemon ice cream, reminds me of lemon sherbet but creamier. Easy to make and refreshing on hot days. Make sure you squeeze fresh lemons for this one. Bottled lemon juice just doesn't measure up in this recipe.This is a combination of two recipes given to me by my Aunt.It's good topped with a few fresh raspberries. For those who love lime, just substitue fresh lime juice in place of the lemon.Cook time is freezing time."

WOW - this is crazy good!! So simple to make and the flavor is outstanding - a perfect combination of sweet, tart, and creamy goodness. Love love love the lemon but looking forward to trying this method with other juices (lime, pineapple, mango) as well. Thanks for sharing a keeper! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2013

delicious! Light, fresh and creamy. I don't have a food processor so I used 2 cups of heavy cream and whipped it up with my mixer, then added the sugar, lemon and zest, put in the freezer for 5 hours, it was perfect!
