Get ready to pucker up because I believe that greeting spring with this sweet and sour ice cream is the best way possible.
It is necessary to have an ice cream maker at this location; nevertheless, despite the fact that it requires an inconveniently large amount of storage space, ours is put to good use on a regular basis.
It is a lot of fun to experiment with different flavor combinations that you simply cannot get in a store (especially non-dairy combinations).
I can see how making ice cream from scratch would be a delightful activity for children.
Even though we don’t have any children, Jack’s reaction whenever I tell him “we’re cooking ice cream tonight” is exactly the same as a child of five years old.
He travels all over the place weighing and mixing… I take a passive role and observe. It’s really rather wonderful.
Food: Lemon Ice-cream (Source: All recipes)This is a really easy recipe to follow. From this vantage point, you can get as elaborate as you like with anything you want. The addition of mint, vanilla bean, or — my personal favorite — a teeny, little sprinkle of cayenne pepper to give it a touch of heat are all excellent choices.

Lemon Ice-cream Instructions
Food: Lemon Ice-cream (Source: All recipes)- Corn starch should be mixed with a quarter cup of coconut milk and whisked together in a small bowl until the corn starch is completely dissolved.
- Mix in the rest of the coconut milk, the sugar, the lemon zest, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk again.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream machine, and then complete the ice cream by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Notes
Additions deserving of special mention: Combine the shredded coconut with a pure vanilla bean and, optionally, a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Put it in the freezer for about half an hour before serving if it comes out of the ice cream maker with a consistency that is too soft.
