Lemon Gelato
Lemon gelato is creamy, tangy and sweet. Perfect for a light after dinner treat.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup milk (full fat)
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 egg yolks, beaten
- ¾ cup lemon juice (about 3 to 4 lemons)
- 3 tablespoons lemon zest (zest lemons before juicing)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
INSTRUCTIONS:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat milk to 175°, whisk in sugar until completely dissolved. Add a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Whisking constantly; add the rest of the yolks. Add lemon zest. Keep whisking and cook over a low heat until thermometer reads 160° and mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon. Do not boil.
- Remove saucepan from heat; stir in lemon juice and cream. Place in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold; for best results chill overnight.
- In assembled KitchenAid stand turn to stir speed one. Pour mixture into freeze bowl. Continue on Speed 1 for 15 to 20 minutes or until desired consistency is reached. Immediately transfer ice cream into serving dishes, or freeze in an airtight container.

ReplyDeleteHi Debra, I am always hunting for citrus recipes this time of year. This is the first time I made gelato. Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteThanks Tandy, that is where my is.

ReplyDeleteThanks Susan, hope you are having a great 2017!
DeleteAfter close to 7 years, my first comment. I proof read most of the Spoon's post, do much of the meat and fish grilling, and get to taste everything. This gelato is one of the best things she has ever made. It is that good. I can't wait to try whatever she is going to make with our grapefruits, which are just about perfect right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks honey!
DeleteCheri, I love gelato and this one looks delicious. I am always interested in collecting recipes using lemons because of my lemon trees.

ReplyDeleteThanks Anu....you too!
DeleteWhat a dreamy gelato! Our favorite Italian gelateria in town just closed. Time for me to break out the ice cream maker!
ReplyDeleteOh that's a shame but like you said you can always make your own;) take care Liz!
DeleteThis lemon gelato sounds so good and what a beautiful lemon tree you have, Cheri!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, we enjoy it very much.
DeleteIf I could pick any flavor in the world, this would be the one! Lemons make the perfect desserts and your creamy gelato has me drooling this morning! Wonderful recipe - have a great weekend Cheri!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricia, lemons really are versatile, hope you are having a wonderful week-end.
DeleteDon't you love citrus season in the desert? It's the best! So much better than all those zucchini we get back east… I love lemon desserts, Cheri, and your gelato looks perfect. I hope you are enjoying another day of rain in the desert… I am by the fire, reading blogs, and planning my next several months of blog posts!
ReplyDeleteHi David, these are my favorite kind of days as they are so rare, the desert always smells so wonderful after a rain. Take care!
DeleteTHis looks fantastic Cheri! Always wanted to make a lemon gelato- since lemons are our favorite flavor of all! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna and Liz, lemon is my favorite too, thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHow delicious! it sounds wonderful - I could do with a bowl now!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, we enjoyed this very much.
DeleteWhat a wonderful gelato. And so refreshing. I could do with some here as it's so hot! I love the photo of the gelato in the container - it's such a pretty colour and looks really creamy xx
ReplyDeleteHi Charlie, sounds like you guys are really getting the heat, thank goodness your not too far from the water. Take care!
Delete#Inspired Cheri! An ice cream maker to replace my old one is definitely on the to-do list. Your lemon gelato looks divine <3 P.s Pinning as well as saving this lovely lemon number =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, it was time for me to finally break down and buy the attachment;)
DeleteI have a KitchenAid attachment too. While I love it, your results are so much creamier than mine! Maybe I'm not "churning" quite long enough, or may on too high a speed. Hmmm. Food for thought. GREG
ReplyDeleteHi Greg, I churned mine on the lowest setting for almost 20 minutes, hope that helps. Take care!
DeleteThis lemon gelato sounds lovely. Is that your lemon tree? If so, I am SO jealous lol. I've always wanted a citrus tree in my yard, sadly in Wisconsin the weather would not let that happen lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Phi, yes it is, we also have a pink grapefruit tree but then again I would love it if we could get snow every now and then lol.
DeleteI can't imagine living in a place with citrus season in January! Enjoy your gelato - it looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beth, kind of crazy right?
DeleteThis looks so delicious! So creamy and so moreish and I love your lemon tree. I wish I had one too (not easy to grow in the UK). Ciao!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alida!
DeleteCheri, that looks so creamy and delicious! My mouth is watering. The lemon zest would add just the right kick to it, too. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara, it was just right.
DeleteI am in bed and all that I can think about it is to have this lemon gelato. So creamylicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, appreciate your comment.
DeleteI've always wanted to try a gelato, and this is the first recipe I have ever read for one! Lemon is just the flavor we need right now to brighten our days. I have to try this!
ReplyDeleteThanks kris, had fun putting this together.
