Scale
Fresh Ingredients
- 6–8 lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Dairy
- 1 (30 oz) container plain whole milk skyr (Icelandic Provisions recommended)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the lemons: Start by slicing off the ends of the lemons so they can sit flat, then cut each lemon in half. Juice all the lemons and measure out 1/4 cup of the fresh juice to use in the recipe. Reserve the remaining juice for another use or discard.
- Freeze the lemon halves: Remove the membrane from the lemon halves to avoid bitterness, then place the peeled lemon halves into a freezer bag. Freeze them overnight to get a nice icy texture to add to the dessert.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain skyr, the sweetened condensed milk, the fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest (from one or two lemons). Stir gently until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Freeze the mixture: Transfer the skyr mixture into an ice cream container or freezer-safe dish. Freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours. For a creamier texture, you can use an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Notes
- Removing the lemon membrane prevents bitterness in the final dessert.
- Using whole milk skyr adds creaminess and richness compared to low-fat versions.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk.
- For best results, allow the dessert to soften slightly before serving.
- Leftover fresh lemon juice can be saved for drinks or salad dressings.
