Easy lemon meringue ice cream recipe Posted on 13 January 2012 While The Mother City takes its sweet time deciding whether it’s finally time to let summer stay I thought I’d share a little culinary trick I learned last year. There’s nothing quite like creamy old-school lemon meringue ice cream on a hot day while watching cricket to make you feel like you’re still on holiday… Stocking up so I could steadily sip cold G&T’s as the sun set over the festive season, I bought a massive bag of lemons – this tart little treat was a winning by-product. It was enough to bowl a maiden over. Literally. Lemon meringue ice cream (adapted from the Kevin and Amanda’s brilliant basic) Ingredients 400ml whipping cream 1 x can condensed milk 5 lemons BIG chunk of ginger bunch spearmint and regular mint leaves 5 x cinnamon/tennis biscuits Method 1. Grate the zest of 2 lemons and then squeeze all 5 into a container. Use a sieve to strain the seeds. You could use limes for a twist and even add a tot or two of whisky if you feel like a ‘festive’ zing. 2. Peel and grate the ginger. Throw in mint leaves and a bit of lemon juice and blend until smooth. Mix in all the lemon juice. 3. Empty the condensed milk into a bowl and slowly the lemon, ginger, mint concoction. 4. In a separate bowl, whip cream until thick enough to form standing peaks (use an electric blender) 5. Crush biscuits and stir into juice-condensed milk mix. 6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture, decant into a sealable container, freeze and enjoy. Voilà! Lemon photo by CocteauBoy.
