It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold If the mixture is too warm some ice cream makers

will not be able to fully freeze the mixture Therefore in general it is recommended that the mixture be

refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker follow the manufacturer's direction for freezing In general

freezing takes approximately minutes but this will vary depending upon the machine ingredients and

temperature of the mixture

If you do not have an ice cream maker start with the refrigerated mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan

freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again Freeze in a regular bowl Remove from freezer about

minutes before serving

Garnish individual servings with lemon zest and thinly sliced lemon wheels Makes about cups

VARIATIONS:

As the sweetener any combination of unrefined sweeteners (maple syrup brown rice syrup barley malt syrup

agave nectar etc) can be used and in varying amounts depending on your tastes (see "Dessert Notes" for more

information about sweeteners)

Add toasted chopped nuts while in the ice cream maker to make a chunky style ice cream

"LemonGinger Ice Cream" add a teaspoon of ginger juice

"LemonCinnamon Ice Cream" add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or a teaspoon of cinnamon extract/flavoring
