Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Juice
- 6–8 lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (reserved)
Dairy
- 1 (30 oz) container plain whole milk skyr (Icelandic Provisions recommended)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare Lemons: Slice the ends off the lemons so they can lay flat, then cut each lemon in half. Juice the lemons thoroughly and set aside 1/4 cup of lemon juice for the recipe, reserving the remaining juice for another use or storage.
- Freeze Lemon Membranes: Carefully remove the membranes from the lemon halves and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze this bag overnight to use in the frozen dessert for added texture and flavor balance.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the skyr, the reserved 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, the sweetened condensed milk, and lemon zest for enhanced citrus aroma. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the mixture into an ice cream container. For a firmer and creamier consistency, freeze overnight. Using an ice cream maker is optional but recommended to achieve a smoother texture.
Notes
- Removing the lemon membrane helps reduce bitterness from the rind in the frozen dessert.
- Using an ice cream maker improves texture but is not mandatory.
- Skyr is a traditional Icelandic cultured dairy product similar to yogurt but thicker and higher in protein.
- Store leftover frozen skyr in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
- This dessert is best enjoyed within one week of freezing.
