Ingredients
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 cups cold milk, chilled
- 1 (14 ounce) can nonfat sweetened condensed milk, chilled
Instructions
- In the freezer canister of an ice cream maker, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, milk and sweetened condensed milk. Freeze according to manufacturers’ directions.
- I churned my mixture in my machine for about 15 to 20 minutes, and while still slushy, poured it into individual containers and placed in the freezer for approximately 2 hours. They came out brilliantly, with no ice crystals, not too soft, not too hard and very, very tasty indeed! Enjoy!

Reviews
So I accidentally bought oranges instead of lemons…lol!! So I substituted limes for the lemons. I used 3 limes zested and 4 limes of juice and the 4th zest was for garnish. I also used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of milk. OMG!!! I think it might be the MOST DELICIOUS dessert I have ever had!! Just sweet enough, just limey enough. GREAT just plain but I think a spring of fresh mint leaves would make it even better!!!
Made for Mothers Day and everyone loved it. I did use zest of 2 lemons and the juice of both of them, everything else the same. I served it with blueberries and lemon sugar. Not a drop was left.
tasted great
Made exactly as recipe states in ice cream maker. Consistency was perfect but flavor was awful – like sour milk. I often make homemade ice cream but this just did not taste good.
This tasted like condensed milk at first, but came out super thick and creamy. I added some more lemon juice and it tasted really good.
This was so easy to put together. I agree with Shorecook that there was a smidgeon of a sour taste to the ice cream, but I expected that with lemons and milk. I kept the ingredients as cold as possible, and mixing them just before adding them to the ice cream maker. I thought this rated four stars, but my husband loved it and said it was a cross between sherbet and ice cream and gave it five stars. I made it to serve with a lemon pound cake. They made a perfect dessert.
it would be a great recipe for my cupcake & cake bunisses
So good!! My family loved it…even the pickiest of the picky!! I never seem to use my icecream maker so it was great to get some mileage out of it. I can’t imagine the taste of this dessert with strawberry syrup covering it but I guess to each his own?
is that the zest of 1 lemon and the juice of 2 lemons?
I used 3 sm lemons but forgot to zest (duh) till after I trashed the rinds. Thus found it light on lemon flavor so I added 1.5 t. lemon extract. Will play with this to get a standard juice amt and probably add another cup of milk. Was good alone but fantastic served with raspberries and blueberries on top. Tweak Edit: I had half a can of sweetened milk to use and though of this recipe. I only had 2 lemons, juiced 2 and zested 1. Half can of sc milk, 1 cup of ff half and half, 1/2 cup whole milk. DD liked it MUCH better this way for eating alone, less chalky. I think 4 juiced and 2 zested would suit our sour tastes better and next time I’ll double my tweaks because it makes a tasty and cool treat in the heat.
Creamy not icey! I really wanted to like this recipe but found it “sour” as opposed to “tart”. I don’t know why it surprised me but it is lemon and milk. My ingredients were fresh. To make this to our liking, Hubby added Hershey’s strawberry syrup to his, and I made an orange float out of mine. Very good this way so all was not lost! Thank you for sharing your recipe, jem, I wish we had liked it with no changes.
Not as smooth tasting as I would have liked, but a great recipe using minimal ingredients I usually have on hand. Even my picky son said it was good!
My family liked it but i didnt find it very appetizing. I think it was too rich and I didnt care for it. it was ok for a quick dessert
This is yummy! I was worried it would be too sweet as the other reviews said, but I found it perfect. This was my first attempt with my new Ice Cream Maker. It reminds me of a lemon cream dessert my gran used to make at xmas time.
We substituted oranges and oj instead, and used a bit less of the sweetened condensed milk, it turned out like a creamsicle!
This is a quick and easy recipe to use with an ice cream maker. I prefer a less sweet flavor, so I increased the amount of lemon juice to 3 lemons, and reduced the milk.
