Lemon Meringue Pie is one of my favorite desserts so why can't we make lemon meringue ice cream without an ice cream maker?This lemon meringue no churn ice cream comes together with a few simple ingredients and the base for the ice cream can be used for any flavor of ice cream.
Combine the lemon juice, the condensed milk, and extracts and whisk to combine. Set aside.
10 oz Condensed Milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ¼ teaspoon Lemon Extract, ½ cup of Lemon Juice
Place your heavy cream in the bowl of a stand and whip until stiff peaks form.
2 cups Heavy Cream
Add the condensed milk into the bowl with the whipped cream. Let the condensed milk run down the edges and continue to mix on medium high until incorporated, then stop mixing.
Pour half of the mixture into the bottom of a loaf pan that is layered in graham crumbs, then top with more graham crumbs.
1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
Pour remaining mixture on top and layer more graham cracker crumbs on top.
Place in freezer to chill for 8 hours.
Notes
Top Tips
I've tested making no churn ice cream with bowls and whisks that were freezer cold versus using them as they are in the kitchen.Based on the results of making no churn ice cream, it doesn't make a difference. So, don't waste your time if you are not using an ice cream maker. Just ensure that you place your finished ice cream in the freezer right away and let it chill.For a dense ice cream, let it freeze for 24 hours.For soft serve, let it freeze for up to 6 hours.Make sure that you are choosing a container that is large enough to hold your homemade ice cream securely and that the container is freezer safe.
