Lemon Ice Cream With Black Currant Sauce Recipes

LEMON ICE CREAM WITH BLACK-CURRANT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make ice cream:
• Bring cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt just to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally. Lightly beat yolks in a large bowl, then add hot sweetened cream in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until a candy or instant-read thermometer registers 170°F and custard coats back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour through a sieve into a clean bowl, then stir in juice. Cool custard, stirring occasionally, then chill until cold.
• Freeze custard in ice-cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.
• Make sauce:
• Blend together preserves and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth. Strain sauce and/or thin with water if desired.
• Serve ice cream with black-currant sauce.

Place bowl with yolk mixture over larger bowl filled with ice and water until mixture is cool, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer, beat cream, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon peel, and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold cooled yolk mixture into cream in 3 additions. Cover and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
• Mix berries and any accumulated juices, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon peel in small bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

SUPER LEMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover saucepan and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
• Uncover pan and bring back to a simmer over low heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually stir one cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, several tablespoons at a time. This will help to bring the eggs up to temperature without scrambling them. Stir the egg mixture back into the cream mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture just coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Refrigerate overnight.
• Stir the lemon juice into the cold ice cream mixture. Freeze in a 4 to 5 quart ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a lidded freezer container, and freeze for 4 hours to ripen flavors before serving.

• Mix: Beat the cream until soft peaks form. Set aside. Mix the sweetened condensed milk with the black currant puree. Carefully fold in the whipped cream.
• Freeze: Line the bottom and the walls of a small loaf tin with cling film/plastic wrap. Pour the mixture into the container. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap directly over the surface. Freeze for at least 8 hours or until solid.
• Serve: Remove from the freezer for about 10 minutes before scooping to allow it to soften slightly. Serve in ice cream cones or small bowls.

• Combine the double cream and condensed milk in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thickened but not stiff, then add the fruit and stir to combine. Tip into a freezer-proof container, cover with a lid and freeze for at least 6 hrs. Remove from the freezer 30 mins before serving, then serve in bowls topped with the remaining blackcurrants.

• Strain the mixture, keeping only the juice.
• Add 1 cup of sugar to the juice and reheat.
• Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened a little pour the black currant syrup into a jar and seal, allow to cool, then place in refrigerator until ready to use.
• When ready to serve, add ice cubes and the squeezed lemon halve to the chilled glass.
• For one serving of lemonade use equal parts syrup and equal parts cold water with juice from a half a lemon.
