Lemon-Lime Ice Cream

Yum

July 15, 2020 by Jodi | 5 Comments

This Lemon-Lime Ice Cream is so refreshing, simple to make and the perfect end to a meal on a hot summer night. It’s so, so good!

Remember when I mentioned the other day that I tend to go on a lemon and/or lime frenzy during the hot summer months?

I really wasn’t lying.

Today I bring you Lemon-Lime Ice Cream, a childhood favorite, that I’m so excited to share with you.

This ice cream is so refreshing, it’s perfect for these hot summer days that we’re all probably experiencing right now. My mom found this recipe in the newspaper probably 30+ years ago and I’m pretty sure she probably still has the original newspaper clipping of it. It’s one that my whole family loves.

I forget how much I love it until I make it, take a bite and then I’m asking myself why I don’t make it more often.

The other night we scooped some of this ice cream into waffle cones and now we’ve all decided there is no going back and we don’t know if we can ever eat homemade ice cream again without a waffle cone, especially this lemon-lime ice cream. #waffleconesforever

TIPS FOR MAKING LEMON-LIME ICE CREAM:

  • Use heavy whipping cream. I think it makes all the difference in this ice cream.
  • Please make sure you use fresh lemon and lime juice. Fresh is so much better than the bottled stuff. Resist that temptation to use bottled stuff!
  • I make this in my Cuisinart 2-quart Ice Cream Maker. If you want to use a larger ice cream maker (like a 4-quart or 6-quart) then double or triple it.
  • This ice cream doesn’t get much firmer than “soft serve” ice cream, so if you want it to be firmer, make it several hours ahead of time (or even the day before)and place it in a container and freeze it for several hours.
  • Place a piece of plastic right up against the ice cream before putting the lid on the container. This helps keep ice crystals from forming on top of the ice cream.
  • Pleeeease make sure you have waffle cones on hand and dish yourself up some of this ice cream in a waffle cone. . . you can thank me later.

    When combining all of the ingredients, is the whipping cream in liquid form? Also, will the sugar dissolve in whole milk and whipping cream? Is a mixer necessary? TIA

      Hi James, yes the whipping cream is in liquid form. It’s not whipped, I would specify that in the instructions if it was supposed to be. No mixer necessary, the sugar will easily dissolve in the milk/whipping cream mixture.

    Do the whipping cream, sugar, and whole milk need to be simmered, then cooled down and then the lime and lemon juices and lemon extract added?

      No simmering needed James. Just follow the instructions by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl/measuring bowl and stir them together. Let it chill for a few hours and then freeze it according to the manufacturer’s directions of your ice cream maker. Hope you love it.
