Ask the hotline about this step!Freeze in an ice cream maker, or in a wide, shallow container, stirring from time to time. Devour! Note: Don't be dismayed if the ice cream never gets really hard in your freezer -- the texture should be airy and light.
Ask the hotline about this step!Probably some of the best stuff I've ever made. Thank you, thank you!
This is similar to my lemon buttermilk sorbet. You can bet I'll be trying this. It's 100 here, perfect timing.
Made this recipe several times last summer and everyone who tried it LOVED it. Made an orange version and it was equally delicious. Not sure why I haven't made it yet THIS summer... eagerly awaiting arrival of ice cream maker recommended by food52!
Made a batch - delicious - and sandwiched it between two small sections of graham crackers for a mini key lime pie ice cream treat!
looks delicious!
Made this last night...and I'm glad I did. It was delicious! This is a definite keeper, will be making this and variations of it all summer. Thanks merrill! :)
Oh, my. Thank you for this! Delicious ice cream! And 8 key limes made enough juice, then their juiceless outsides bobbed prettily in a pitcher of tea.
I just made a batch of this using my CSA tangerines - dreamy, creamsicle ice cream deliciousness!! Thanks, Merrill!
I forgot to add that to compensate for the sweeter fruit I used a little less sugar (2/3 cup) and a lot more juice (1 cup). YUM!
Is there a button for 'love' as opposed to 'like'? I made this last night and am obsessed. I'm going to make another batch using it as the filling for some ginger snap ice cream sandwiches and then another (only foregoing the freezing portion) using it as a whipped topping for a tart of some sort.
It is soooooo hot out and I sooooo can't wait to make this for company on Friday. Thanks for sharing.
I made this over the weekend and brought it to a July 4th BBQ. It was delicious and a huge hit. One guy even said he died and went to lime ice cream heaven!
Sorry to go on and on but I have longed for this recipe - another 2 hours and dessert was served at the proper time - perfection! Regards to you and to your Mom aka Lauren Bacall, Liz
Your ice cream is pretty luscious with Meyer lemons! Posted a photo - started melting while my husband and buddy were begging for spoons... This is my new favorite ice cream recipe, thanks to you.
I disocvered I was out of white sugar, but powdered worked just fine - dissolved well.
Can't wait to try this with Meyer lemons tomorrow...So glad you added your hand-written recipe!

We brought this recipe to the beach! We bought an ice cream maker yesterday and made this last night! We all agree that it is the best ever:) we're going to try the genius river cafe's strawberry sorbet tonight!
