Makes 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 quart heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook over medium heat just until bubbles begin to form around edges of pan. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks until combined. Gradually pour one-fourth of hot milk mixture into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add egg mixture to remaining hot milk mixture in pan, whisking constantly. Cook over medium-low heat until mixture is slightly thickened, whisking constantly (do not boil). Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice. Pour mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap, pressing plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. Stir in cream.
- Pour mixture into container of an electric ice cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Ice cream will be soft. If a firmer texture is desired, transfer ice cream to an airtight container, and freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
