This recipe was inspired by the wonderful “Santa Monica Farmer’s Cookbook” by Amelia Saltsman and it is as delicious as it is easy.
Ready
- 3 Meyer lemons
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
Set
- Zester
- Juicer
- Sauce pan
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Ice cream maker
Go
- Zest lemon rinds into sauce pan.
- Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice into sauce pan.
- Add water and sugar to sauce pan and bring to a boil over a medium heat, stirring regularly so that the sugar dissolves.

This was excellent. One thing I did different was to strain out the lemon zest after the cream had cooled. It made for a much more creamy and smooth ice cream, but still with the aromatic mayer lemon flavor.

Excellent recipe. I used a full cup of heavy cream.

Because the recipe does not call for eggs, as most ice cream recipes do, this is light, creamy and very flavorful. I would imagine that it would work just as well with oranges too!
