Re: Velvety Meyer lemon ice cream

Because the recipe does not call for eggs, as most ice cream recipes do, this is light, creamy and very flavorful. I would imagine that it would work just as well with oranges too!

Re: Meyer lemon ice cream

This was excellent. One thing I did different was to strain out the lemon zest after the cream had cooled. It made for a much more creamy and smooth ice cream, but still with the aromatic mayer lemon flavor.

Re: Meyer lemon ice cream

This is a great suggestion. Personally I like the little bits of chewy zest in the ice cream, but my kids prefer it smooth. Either way you are going to be very happy.
