Lemon Buttermilk Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, cream, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into a 9x13-inch pan. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, scraping with a fork several times during freezing. When fully frozen and ready to serve, scrape one more time right before serving. (If the scraping gets away from you and the mixture freezes solid, scoop into a food processor in batches and process until smooth, adding a little more buttermilk if necessary.)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil; remove from heat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
• In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, lemon juice, corn syrup, and salt. Slowly add chilled syrup; whisk to combine. Stir in lemon zest. Freeze in an ice-cream maker, following manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Place sugar in a medium-size bowl.
• Grate the zest (colored part of the peel) of two to three lemons to produce 2 teaspoons of zest.
• Juice as many lemons as needed to get 1/2 cup lemon juice.
• Add zest and juice to sugar.
• Mix well.
• Add buttermilk and salt.
• Stir until sugar dissolves.
• Chill 4 hours or overnight.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice and 1/4 cup of sugar. Place over medium-low heat, and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, buttermilk, heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Place over medium-low heat until steam rises from the surface. Remove from heat.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine egg yolks with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk to blend. While continuing to whisk yolks, slowly drizzle about a cup of the hot milk mixture into them, to gradually warm them. Add yolk mixture to saucepan. Return saucepan to medium-low heat, and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• Strain mixture into a bowl, and place in a bowl of ice water to cool. Add lemon syrup and stir well. Freeze in an ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• combine sugar and lemon in a large bowl, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
• add remaining ingredients.
• pour into the freezer container of your ice cream maker, and follow manufacturer's directions.
• when done spoon into a freezer safe container and freeze 1 hour until firm.

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan whisk together the yolks, lemon juice, and sugar.
• Cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 175°F, about 15 minutes, (don't boil).
• Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl and cool, surface covered with plastic wrap.
• Whisk buttermilk and zest into cooled lemon curd until combined well.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker.

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk the yolks just to break them up, then whisk in half of the sugar (6 tablespoons). Set aside.
• In a heavy stainless steel pan, stir together the cream, milk, and the remaining sugar (6 tablespoons) and put the pan over medium-high heat. When the mixture approaches a bare simmer, reduce the heat to medium.
• Carefully scoop out about ½ cup of the hot cream mixture and, whisking the eggs constantly, add the cream to the bowl with the egg yolks. Repeat, adding another ½ cup of the hot cream to the bowl with the yolks. Returning to the pan of cream on the stove, use a heatproof spatular to stir the cream as you slowly pour the egg and cream mixture from the bowl back to the pan.
• Continue to cook the mixture carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened, coats the back of a spatula, and leaves a clear mark when you run your finger across it, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Strain the base through a fine-mesh strainer and into a clean container. Set the bowl into an ice bath, wash your spatula, and use it to stir the base occasionally until it is cool. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the base for at least 2 hours or overnight. (In this recipe, it's particularly important that the base is cold before proceeding to the nest step; otherwise the buttermilk will cause the mixture to "break" and lose its emulsion.)
• Add the buttermilk and vanilla to the cold base and whisk to blend.
• Freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the ice cream is churning, put the container you'll use to store the ice cream into the freezer. Enjoy right away or, for a firmer ice cream, freeze for at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath. Place lemon juice in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Boil until reduced by half, about 12 minutes. Add sugar; stir until dissolved, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the buttermilk, cream, corn syrup, salt, and candied lemon zest. Chill over the ice bath or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Freeze mixture in an ice-cream maker, according to manufacturer's directions. Place in an airtight container in the freezer; store up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Stir sugar, lemon juice and peel in medium bowl. Add buttermilk; stir until sugar dissolves. Chill until cold, about 4 hours. Process mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to container with lid; freeze. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)

Steps:

• Make pastry stars:
• On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll out each puff pastry sheet into a 14- by 13-inch-rectangle. With 1 or more star-shaped cutters cut out 24 pastry stars. Divide pastry stars between 2 baking sheets, arranging in one layer, and freeze 5 minutes.
• Remove baking sheets from freezer. Brush top of each pastry star lightly with some egg wash (be careful not to drip down edges of pastry) and bake in middle and lower thirds of oven about 5 minutes. Alternate baking sheets and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, or until pastry stars are puffed and golden brown. Transfer pastry stars to a rack and cool completely. Pastry stars may be made 2 days ahead and kept in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature. Makes 24 stars.
• Make berry mixture:
• In a large bowl whisk together water, lemon juice, and cornstarch until combined well. Add berries and sugar, tossing gently to combine well. Divide berry mixture evenly among eight 1 1/2-cup shallow ramekins or baking dishes and put in 2 shallow baking pans. Bake berries in middle and lower thirds of oven 25 minutes and cool slightly.
• To assemble cobblers:
• Top each serving decoratively with pastry stars and a scoop of ice cream. Serve cobblers hot or warm.
• Make Lemon Buttermilk Ice Cream:
• In a small heavy saucepan whisk together yolks, lemon juice, and sugar and cook over moderate heat, whisking constantly, about 15 minutes, or until a candy thermometer registers 175°F. (do not boil). Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl and cool, surface covered with plastic wrap.
• Whisk buttermilk and zest into cooled lemon curd until combined well and freeze in an ice-cream maker. Makes about 4 cups.
