Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 lemons Finely zested
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup limoncello

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and a syrup has formed, about 5 minutes. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
  • Pour the syrup into a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, juice, and Limoncello. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
  • Pour the cold lemon mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cover tightly and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.

Notes

This took longer than ice cream to freeze up due to the amount of alcohol in the mix. Be patient, it will get there!
