Lemon Ice Cream (No Ice-Cream Maker and No Eggs)

Recipe by Nigella Lawson. I love Nigella's ice-creams and you don't need an ice-cream machine. I have another posted here Orange & Lime Ice-cream #71438, they are both so very good. I haven't allowed for freezing time because it can vary so much.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3  lemons, fresh
• 175  g icing sugar
• 420  ml  double cream
• 3  tablespoons  ice water

Directions

1. Grate the zest from two of the lemons using a microplane, squeeze the juice of all three lemons and pour into a bowl with the zest and sugar, stir to combine and leave for 30 minutes, to let the flavour deepen.
2. Whip the cream with the water until it holds soft peaks, then whisk in the sweetened lemon juice.
3. Turn into a shallow container, cover and freeze (no stirring) until firm - this could take 3-6 hours.
4. Let stand in container in the fridge for half an hour to soften enough to serve.
