This no churn lemon ice cream is creamy, tangy, and made with just 5 simple ingredients and no ice cream maker. It comes together in minutes and freezes into a soft, scoopable treat that's perfect for summer.
Start by pouring the heavy cream, milk, sugar, lemon juice, and extract into a large bowl.
Beat with a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes; it should start to thicken and form small peaks. Thick peaks will not form.
Pour the ice cream mixture into your ice cream pan and place in the freezer to set for at least 6 hours to overnight.
Once frozen, thaw slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in the freezer, tightly covered.You can use a loaf pan in place of an ice cream pan. Make sure it is tightly covered with plastic wrap or it will freezer burn overnight.
