Pastry Studio is one of my favorite blogs. Every recipe is original, beautifully presented, unusual and delicious. All her ice creams are truly special and this particular one is tart and refreshing. I love citrus flavors in the summer, don't you?
Quite surprisingly, this ice cream is made without eggs. While you do need an ice cream maker, this is the simplest ice cream I think I've ever made. You'll find 1/2 teaspoon almond extract is just about right. I love toasted almonds too, so I sprinkled the ice cream with even more before serving.
Lemon Almond Ice Cream
From Pastry Studio
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup + 2 T sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (I used 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon good quality almond extract, to taste
good pinch of salt, to taste
1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
Method:
Whisk together all the ingredients except the almonds. Refrigerate the mixture overnight to chill thoroughly.
Toast the sliced almonds in a single layer in a 350 degree oven for about 6 to 8 minutes. Churn the ice cream base in your ice cream machine. Fold in the toasted almonds. Pour into a container, top with plastic wrap, cover securely and place in your freezer. Makes 1 1/2 pints.
Simple + ice cream = I am SOOOO making this!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous! What a combo!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious, I'd love that combination of lemon and almond!
ReplyDeleteBarbara this is absolutely yum!!! gloria
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this recipe, and I love the addition of toasted sliced almonds.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious, especially with the extra toasted almonds.
Happy week

A great flavor combo! That ice cream is marvelous. I love citrusy desserts.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

I've always wanted to make ice cream.
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals for this summer is to use my ice cream maker to it's fullest potential and this sounds like the perfect way to start! I love almond-flavored anything (but especially ice cream).
ReplyDeleteYou're motivating me to clean out my freezer so I have room for my ice cream maker bowl! Lemon ice cream--with or without almond flavoring--is summer in a bowl.
ReplyDeleteThis is much lighter than the lemon ice cream I usually make, and I love the addition of almonds to the mix. Ice cream is a must have on the first day of summer even if the weather is cool and cloudy. Thanks for the recipe, Barbara. Can't wait to try this.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Another must-try. I think I need to ask for the ice cream accessory for my KA mixer for my birthday...
ReplyDeleteAs the season changes, thoughts turn to ice cream! I am determined to get more creative with my ice cream flavors this summer, and this ones a good start! Amazing that it doesn't contain eggs, so I'm anxious to compare the difference.
ReplyDeletelove this, lemon is such a gorgeous flavor for ice cream! delicious dish!
ReplyDeleteWe finally got a heat wave and now I'm craving ice cream (not that it takes a heat wave for that to happen but you know what I mean.) Now I want to MAKE it in addition to eating it. This sounds great, and no eggs? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, this ice cream looks delicious, I love the idea of lots of lemon...and I just got myself an ice cream maker...so will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week ahead :-)
Ice cream has always been my first love when it comes to deserts. This is a beauty. I love the flavour.

I love lemon desserts in the summer. I'm getting my ice cream maker out of the closet to try this one - it sounds great!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like one yummy ice cream! Looking forward to checking out this blog!
ReplyDeleteYour suggested recipe is very useful to getting idea about it. Ice-creams chocolates are looks very best and superb with chocolates flavour. Very amazing photographs.
ReplyDeleteSounds heavenly. I've been in the mood to start making ice cream again!
ReplyDeletesuperb combo!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get out my ice cream maker this season. I believe this has inspired me. Wonderful flavors. Thanks for the recipe Barbara.
ReplyDeletesounds like another winner as i smack my lips!
ReplyDeleteBarbara! This has to be indeed the SIMPLEST ice cream recipe I have ever seen! And lemon has to be my favorite. Do you know where I could find however, a recipe that is dairy-free? Oh dear, is that a silly question...I am lactose intolerant and the only way I can satisfy my LOVE JONES for cold treats is by blending FROZEN FRUIT such as pineapple or mango chunks in a VITAMIX with orange juice. I have done frozen cherries with frozen non dairy frozen yogurt and it is great. But to get an iced lemon treat is quite tricky. Oh, you make my culinary dreams soar! THank you for visiting dear friend! Anita
ReplyDeleteI really love a nice tart ice cream or sorbet this time of year and this one sounds perfect, Barbara. So refreshing, and I love the almonds for some crunch!

ReplyDeleteNOW THERE IS AN IDEA! Oh, my what a great idea. Off to Trader Joe's or my local Asian market...they are bound to have it! AND MIXING IT WITH PINEAPPLE OR BANANA????? I shall give this a go..thank you dear Barbara! Anita
ReplyDeleteI adore toasted almonds too! Especially on my ice cream. :-) I always have to go back for seconds on ALMONDS before I ever finish the ice cream. :-)
ReplyDeleteSimple and easy. I've made this recipe with limes, but lemon and almond sounds like a delicious combination.
ReplyDeleteMimi

That sounds delicious Barbara. I have a bonanza of lemons at the moment, but unfortunately it's still too cold for ice-cream! Great to discover the Pastry Studio blog, off to read more posts now :)
ReplyDeleteI could eat pints and pints and pints of this...yummy!!!
ReplyDeletetwo ingredients that i rarely see in ice creams are lemons and almonds, and that's a travesty! great creation, barbara, and thanks for pointing us to another excellent blog!
ReplyDeleteGood Article
ReplyDeleteThat looks simply lovely~~~
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen that combo, but I love nutty type ice creams...
Wow I didn't realize almonds and lemon went together well! It sounds really satisfying and refreshing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI'll be passing this gorgeous link on to my daughter. Eggs don't always agree with my grandson so she is always looking for ice cream recipes without them. And anyway, she has an ice cream maker. Which reminds me, I should ask her to bring it when she comes to visit!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Barbara. It looks heavenly!!!
What a wonderful ice cream, I will bookmasrk this one yum! Checking out the blog too.
