Another ice cream recipe that doesn’t require an ice cream maker!  This Lemon Ice Cream is super creamy and quite refreshing, a wonderful summer treat!

Creamy and Refreshing Lemon Ice Cream (No Churn)

Sometimes when I enjoy a lemon dessert, I feel like a traitor to my former self.  I was so sworn against lemon anything forever and now I feel like such a hypocrite.  But you know what, I’ll get over that, because now is the time to embrace new tastes and delicious, refreshing summer flavors.

Super Creamy Lemon Ice Cream - no eggs, no ice cream maker... so easy!

That isn’t to say that I’m not ultra picky about lemon sweets (even more picky than I am about all sweets, hard to believe).  Lemon bars still kind of gross me out, as does lemon meringue pie.  But when lemon desserts are done right, they can be quite delicious.  Not too sweet and not too tart are the most important factors.  And then there is texture.  This ice cream for example, has just enough lemon flavor to make it a refreshing treat, but it is also ultra creamy and has the potential to fulfill all of your ice cream loving needs.  Have a small scoop on a hot night or use it in an ice cream sundae.  This blueberry sauce would probably be perfect for that.  If you are really smart, you will make this ice cream right now so it’s ready for my recipe that’s coming on Thursday.  Hint, hint!

This Lemon Ice Cream is SO good and SO easy to make!
