Lemon Freeze


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 5hours

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 23 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from the same lemons)
  • ½ cup lemon curd (optional for extra richness)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Heavy Cream: This adds richness and creaminess to the Lemon Freeze, giving it that smooth and luxurious texture.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: This ingredient brings the sweetness and helps the dessert set, giving it a perfect balance with the tartness of the lemon.
  • Fresh Lemon Juice: The fresh lemon juice is the star of this dessert, providing the zesty, tangy flavor that makes Lemon Freeze so refreshing.
  • Lemon Zest: The zest adds an extra punch of citrus flavor that enhances the overall lemony taste.
  • Lemon Curd: Adding lemon curd can give your Lemon Freeze an extra layer of flavor and richness, making it even more indulgent.

Instructions

Prepare the Lemon Freeze Base:

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until it forms soft peaks. The cream should be fluffy but still hold its shape.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add Lemon Curd (Optional): If you’re using lemon curd, gently fold it into the mixture for an added depth of flavor.
  4. Incorporate the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much; you want to keep the texture light and airy.

Freeze the Lemon Freeze:

  1. Transfer to a Pan: Once everything is combined, transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or any container suitable for freezing.
  2. Smooth the Top: Use a spatula to smooth the top of the mixture for an even surface.
  3. Freeze: Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for 4-5 hours, or until the mixture is firm and scoopable.

Serve the Lemon Freeze:

 

  1. Scoop and Serve: Once the Lemon Freeze is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness if desired.
  2. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, creamy, and tangy goodness of Lemon Freeze.
