Lemon Ice Cream
Lemon deserts hit differently during the summer and I thought that creating a lemon ice cream would be a fun, refreshing, frozen treat! I am obsessed with my Ninja Creami ice cream maker and it's so easy to make this simple 3 ingredient lemon ice cream recipe using it but you can make it without as well. This lemon ice cream is super flavorful and zesty with a touch of sweetness from honey.
Equipment
- 1 ice cream maker
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can of full fat coconut milk
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup honey (or can sub maple syrup)
- 2 lemons
- Natural yellow food coloring(optional)
Instructions
- Carefully cut the peel off of the lemons and cut into slices. Try to deseed the lemons as much as possible.
- Add the lemons to a blender along with the coconut milk and honey.
- Blend the ice cream mixture until a smooth and creamy consistency forms.
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a pint container compatible with the Ninja Creami. Freeze the ice cream for 24 hours.
- Add the ice cream pint to the Ninja Creamy and hit the "ice cream" function and let it do its thing.(You may need to re-spin it and add a little more coconut milk if the texture is too crumbly.)
- Scoop out the ice cream and serve in a bowl, then enjoy!
Notes
Note: If you don't have a Ninja Creami, pour the ice cream mixture into silicone ice cube trays and freeze. Add the ice cubes to a blender or food processor or blender and add a little milk to get a smooth, soft serve texture.
