This was such a fresh lemony surprise and so simple. Using both the zest and juice means you get the fragrant oils of the lemon as well as the punchy acidic freshness of the juice. No cooking required, which sort of means you can almost skip the chilling/ageing bit. If you wish to add the lemon oil I highly recommend it as it does add a big lemony punch of flavour to the end result. As you make more ice cream, you will notice that once frozen, flavours that you may taste in the mix are a little less pronounced thus over flavouring the mix can be a good idea.
This recipe, if you have a churner is almost instant. Can be made in the time it takes you to churn it. If you wanted to make up the mix, freeze it in ice cube trays, then blend it, you will also have an instant ice cream...plus the freezing time of course. EASY!
FLAVOUR PAIRINGS:
