Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar until well combined.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the melted butter, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as this will cause the eggs to scramble.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the lemon mixture to cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream and coconut milk. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the cooled lemon butter mixture to the bowl, whisking until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
- Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Place the container in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Once the ice cream is firm, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade Lemon Butter and Coconut Ice Cream!
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest will provide a more vibrant and authentic flavor compared to bottled alternatives.
- Chill your mixing bowl: Before whipping the sour cream and coconut milk, place your mixing bowl in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This helps in achieving a better consistency.
- Temper the eggs slowly: When combining the hot lemon mixture with the egg yolks, do so gradually and whisk constantly to avoid curdling.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give you a richer and creamier texture compared to light or diluted versions.
- Properly chill the mixture: Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before churning it in your ice cream maker for optimal texture.
Once you take your first bite, you’ll be captivated by the silky texture and refreshing taste of this Lemon Butter and Coconut Ice-Cream. It’s an innovative twist on traditional ice cream that will leave your taste buds delighted and asking for more.
