Best. Ice cream. Ever. A super refreshing summer treat! Ingredients:
2 large eggs |
1 1/4 cups white sugar |
4 egg yolks |
1 tablespoon lemon zest |
2 1/4 cups half-and-half cream |
3/4 cup lime juice |
Directions:
1. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lime juice, and lemon zest in a saucepan over medium heat until well-blended. Continuously stir the egg mixture with a wooden spoon until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Remove from heat, and stir in the half and half until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a clean bowl. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally, until cool, about 1 hour.
2. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches soft-serve consistency. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.
