Ingredients:
- 50 ml Vanilla Ice-Cream
- 5 ml Lemon Juice
- 2 ml Lemon Rind
- Few drops Lemon Color
- 5 Mint Leaves
Recipe:
- Begin by scooping 50 ml of creamy vanilla ice cream into a mixing bowl. Allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Add 5 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the softened ice cream. The citrusy punch of lemon will infuse your ice cream with bright, tangy flavor.
- Grate 2 ml of lemon rind into the mixture. The lemon zest adds a fragrant aroma and intensifies the lemony essence of the ice cream.
- For a vibrant hue, add a few drops of lemon color to the bowl. This step is optional but enhances the visual appeal of your ice cream.
- Finely chop 5 mint leaves and sprinkle them into the mixture. The mint leaves impart a refreshing, herbaceous note that perfectly complements the lemon.
- Using a spatula or whisk, gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the creamy texture of the ice cream.
- Transfer the lemon and mint-infused ice cream into a freezer-safe container and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place the ice cream in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
- Once the ice cream is fully frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones, garnish with additional mint leaves or lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add a splash of lemon extract to the mixture.
- Adjust the amount of mint leaves according to your preference. You can also substitute fresh mint with mint extract for a more intense minty taste.
- To achieve a smoother texture, churn the ice cream in an ice cream maker before freezing.
- Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
