If the weather has been warm and sunny where you live why not treat yourself, and the family, to this fresh and creamy low carb/keto dessert. Lovely home-made ice cream, bursting with luscious citrus flavour, and it's sugar free too!
Ingredients
Six Servings
3g carbs per serving
1 lemon, zest and juice
3 eggs
1⁄3 cup / 75ml / 50g erythritol (sweetener)
1¾ cups / 425ml heavy (double) whipping cream
¼ tsp yellow food colouring (optional)
Tips
Quickest made with an ice cream maker - but you don't have to own one, just be more patient before it's ready to eat!
Of course you could 'switch up your citrus! Limes and grapefruit make yummy ice cream flavours, too. If you try a grapefruit, use only one tablespoon of juice for every two servings of ice cream.'

Lemons, so handy when cooking
They are oval in shape, with a pronounced bulge on one end, lemons are one of the most versatile fruits around, and contain a high level of Vitamin C. Although the juicy yellow flesh is a little too sour to eat on its own, its citrus fragrance and tartness means it's wonderful combined with all manner of ingredients and dishes, from the sweet to the savoury. The bright yellow skin can be used as well, when zested. Why not make them a kitchen essential!

Hello, I too enjoy the taste of lemon :)
I haven't used sweet cicely as a sweetener ...
Apparently it could be one of the most underappreciated herbs in modern kitchens, yet it holds remarkable potential for those seeking a natural sweetness with an anise-like twist.

Hello and thank you for your comment and question.
I do find lemon ice cream refreshing, but I also enjoy vanilla, strawberry, blueberry ... so fortunate to have many delicious choices.
All the best Jan
This ice cream looks so good, Jan, and it is definitely one of my favorite food groups. But, even though it can be made without an ice cream maker, it will sadly have to remain off the menu as I am trying to restrict my intake. Still, I can look at the photo and imagine the incredible and delicious taste π
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Hilly
What a wonderful recipe. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteLemon ice cream sounds purrfect today.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back tomorrow.
I do not have an ice cream maker, but I've made ice cream where the main ingredient is bananas. It is okay.
ReplyDeleteNow I know what I am going to do with lemons in my fridge. Thanks for the tip Jan. And happy new week.
ReplyDeleteHubby has found an ice cream he can buy in the store that is low carb that he likes, but I don't think they have lemon flavor
ReplyDeleteCitrus flavoured ice creams would be delicious.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. Been too hot up here in Scotland for us! :-D
ReplyDeleteO wow I didn’t know that I can make my own ice cream without owning an ice cream maker π€
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing dear Jan π♥️
Seguro que estΓ‘n riquΓsimos. Gracias por la receta.
