River Cafe’s Lemon Ice Cream 


This is the incredibly delicious ice cream from the esteemed River Cafe in London. It’s a magic alchemy of just a few ingredients and no ice cream churn is needed. Try it, you’ll love it! 


Makes 4 small portions 


Ingredients: 


Zest of 1 lemon 


1/3 cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons) 


135g (about 2/3 cup) caster sugar 


½ tsp sea salt 


300mls cream 


Method: 


In a bowl stir together the lemon juice and zest, sugar and salt. Drizzle in the cream whilst still stirring gently. The mixture will immediately thicken a bit – like magic! – as you keep gently stirring. If it doesn’t thicken at all, add a bit more lemon juice. 


Pour into a container and freeze for at least 2 hours. No stirring needed. 


Serve in little scoops, on it’s own. Divine!
