What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Maker

Before you start making the gelato mixture, make sure your ice cream maker bowl has been properly frozen according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 24 hours, so be sure to plan ahead.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar has fully dissolved. Make sure the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Step 3: Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures a creamy texture in the final product.

Step 4: Churn the Gelato

Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into the frozen ice cream maker bowl. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning the gelato. Typically, this process takes about 20-30 minutes, or until the gelato reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 5: Freeze the Gelato

Transfer the churned gelato to an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until it is firm. This step allows the gelato to further solidify, making it ready to scoop and serve.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Once the gelato is fully frozen, it’s time to indulge in this homemade lemony delight! Serve it in bowls, cones, or alongside your favorite dessert. The possibilities are endless!
