Homemade Lemon Ice Cream

For some reason, lemon ice cream is not the first flavor I would pick. But, like most kids, mine love lemon and they are so excited about this Homemade Ice Cream Recipe! It’s so super easy and totally natural that I am such a fan of this recipe these days.

Kids get bored in the summer. There is no way around it. My kids are visiting their cousins and even though they are all together and have missed each other, they still get bored and then the trouble starts. Making homemade ice cream is a good way to keep them busy, especially if they can help prepare the lemon ice cream in a really cool ice cream maker!

This super fun Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker has a double-insulated freezer bowl and automatic mixing paddle do all the work. Results are consistently smooth, cleanup is easy, and the brushed metal is sleek. Mix up 2 quarts of your favorite frozen dessert and have it ready in as little as 25 minutes. It’s simple and easy from start to finish: just add ingredients and turn it on. Buy it here on Amazon!
