Lemon Ice Cream

6 servings

30 minutes

Lemon ice cream is a refined treat that comes to us from sunny Italy, where freshness and lightness of flavors are valued. Its delicate texture and refreshing citrus aroma make it the perfect dessert for warm days. With a creamy base and bright lemon hue, it is both sweet and slightly tangy, refreshing and velvety. Traditionally, this ice cream is served after a rich dinner to refresh the taste buds and add lightness to the meal's conclusion. It pairs wonderfully with berries, mint, or even a bit of bitter chocolate, creating a harmony of flavors. This dessert is a true homage to the Italian art of ice cream making—simple in its composition but magnificent in sensation.
