Lemon Gelato Recipe

Category: Desserts
Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Freezing Time: 3 hours


Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Fresh Lemon Juice 400 ml
Water 200 ml
Sugar 220 g
Fresh Liquid Cream 180 ml
Carob Bean Flour 5 g

Instructions

  1. Heat the base mixture: Begin by placing the water and liquid cream into a saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it becomes warm, but not boiling.

  2. Add sugar: Once the water and cream are warmed, add the sugar to the mixture. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  3. Cool the mixture: To quickly cool the mixture, place the saucepan into a larger container filled with ice. This will help bring the temperature down fast, ensuring your gelato freezes properly.

  4. Mix lemon juice: After the mixture has cooled, add the fresh lemon juice to the cooled cream and sugar mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  5. Freeze the gelato: Pour the mixture into a container suitable for freezing. If you donโ€™t have an ice cream maker, simply place the container in the freezer. Set a timer to stir the mixture every 30 minutes until the texture is smooth and frozen (this should take around 2-3 hours).

  6. Serve: Once the gelato has reached the desired consistency, serve immediately, or store in the freezer for later enjoyment. For best results, freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.


Tips for Perfect Lemon Gelato:

  • Consistency: If you’re using an ice cream maker, follow its instructions for the best creamy texture. Without one, the key is to stir the mixture regularly during the freezing process.
  • Flavor Boost: For a richer taste, feel free to add a little zest from the lemon into the mixture along with the juice!

This refreshing and creamy Lemon Gelato is the perfect treat for warm days, offering the ideal balance of sweetness and tang from the fresh lemon juice.
