LEMON DELIGHT ICE CREAM

I was gifted a giant box of Nerds candy and being the ‘summer of ice cream’ in our place, my mind immediately went to Nerds ice cream. I love sour nerds so decided I would make a lemon base with nerds mix-ins. I zested and juiced the lemon, added to my ice cream base and processed it in the ice cream machine. I always check the ice cream before I mix the add-ins to see if it needs to be processed a bit more and it was love at first taste - no Nerds needed. And amazingly this lemon ice cream (without nerds) came to life. If you’re interested in trying a Nerds version, add 1/2-3/4 cup of nerds after 25 minutes and mix 5 minutes more. But for me, the Lemon Delight is perfection!

For the ice cream

2 cups 35% whipping cream

1 cup homo

1 cup sugar

1 lemon, zested and juiced

Add whipping cream, homo milk, sugar and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk until incorporated. Pour into ice cream machine and process 25 minutes. Add lemon zest and process another 5 minutes. Transfer soft ice cream to freezer container and let freeze for a minimum of 4 hours.

Enjoy!
