Instructions

  • Bring LactoFREE milk to a boil in a heavy pan. Cover and remove from the heat.
  • Beat egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl until light and thick. Heat cream separately in a heavy pan. Cover and remove from the heat.
  • Slowly pour the hot milk and cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Transfer the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Do not allow it to come to a boil or it will curdle.
  • Add in lemon extract, zest, and juice.
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate, loosely cover with cling film and chill for 3 hours.
  • Pour the refrigerated mixture into the ice cream maker and churn until it starts to set and thicken.
  • Place it in the freezer to let it set completely.
Enjoy!
Tip

Before churning the lactose-free lemon ice cream, be sure to chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will help it freeze faster and ensure that it has a smooth and creamy texture.

Tip

Once you have churned it, freeze it in a covered, freezer-safe container. If you are storing it for more than a few hours, cover its surface with parchment paper or cling film to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Questions about lactose-free lemon ice cream

Feeling in the mood for a creamy lactose-free ice dessert? Get inspired and read our most frequently asked questions about it below.

Can you make lactose-free lemon ice cream?
Yes, you can make lactose-free lemon ice cream by using lactose-free milk and lactose-free cream and combining it with sugar, lemon zest, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon extract. Then churn it in your ice cream maker until it is set, and then place it in the freezer until frozen. This creates a delicious treat without lactose, allowing everyone to enjoy it.
Why put lemon in lactose-free ice cream?
Adding lemon to lactose-free ice cream can provide a refreshing and tangy flavour that balances out the sweetness of the creamy base. Lemon works well in many dessert recipes as it is both refreshing and vibrant. That is why lactose-free lemon ice cream is a popular choice because the acidity in the juice creates a smoother and creamier consistency and adds an irresistible flavour.
Can you make lactose-free lemon ice cream in an ice cream maker?
Yes, it is a great way to achieve a creamy and smooth texture. The churning action of the machine helps to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier consistency. It also helps to prevent the formation of ice crystals, which can make the ice cream hard and unpleasant.
