List of Ingredients
2 C. whipping cream
2 C. half and half
1 C. sugar
1/3 C. finely grated lemon zest
6 large egg yolks
pinch of salt
1t pure vanilla extract
3/4C. fresh lemon juice
Recipe
Bring the cream, half and half, sugar and zest just to a boil over medium heat in a heavy medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Whisk the egg yolks and salt together in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the cream mixture to the yolk mixture and whisk until blended. In a slow steady stream, add the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly, and continue whisking until blended. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat unti the custard thickens and leaves a path on the back of a wooden spoon when a finger is drawn across it; do not allow the mixture to boil.
Immediately pour the custard through a strainer into a bowl and stir in the vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hrs, until thoroughly chilled.
When ready to freeze, stir the lemon juice into the cold custard, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instruction. The ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For a firmer texture, transfer to a freezer container and freeze for at least 2 hrs before serving.
Yield: 1-1/2 quarts.
