Notes

  • Lemon: You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice. !/2 cup lemon juice produces a fairly sour taste use ⅓ cup for a mildly sour taste.
  • Cookies: I used lemon cream cookies or biscuits like oreo lemon. You may use oreo classic too. You can skip cookies altogether if you like a smooth texture.
  • Cream: Use full-fat heavy cream for this recipe. Use it chilled so that doubles very well in volume and gets stiff peaks.
  • Condensed milk: You can use homemade condensed milk as well.
  • Storage: It will be good in the freezer for 6 weeks after that the sugar starts to crystallize and makes the ice cream grainy.
  • White chocolate chips would good addition too. You can add some cream cheese as well.
