Method
Preparation
- Place the crème fraîche in a medium freezer-safe mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, dextrose, skimmed milk powder, and the ice cream stabilizer until uniformly integrated. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whole milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat until just simmering. Slowly introduce the dry mix, stirring continuously. Allow it to gently boil for one minute, then lower the heat, whisking gently every 2-3 minutes for a total of 10 minutes.
- Pour the hot dairy mixture into the bowl of crème fraîche. Whisk vigorously until smooth. Optionally, use an immersion blender for a silkier texture.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl set over an ice bath, stirring every 5 minutes until chilled.
- Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and Limoncello. Whisk until evenly mixed.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer to a pre-chilled container and freeze for at least 2 hours.
Notes
Serve garnished with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices. Ideal alongside lemon meringue pie or warm chocolate brownies.
