This is exactly what’s been missing from my weekend!
Lemon ice cream is definitely a refreshing choice in this hot weather. Thanks!
My favorite ice cream !!! Surely is in my weekend to do/to have list. Excellent website anyway!
A happy weekend is a good weekend! 😀
It’s the best! Thanks!
Lovely to hear! Thanks!
I usually avoid using lemon in my recipes but I bravely tried this recipe and it came out amazing! Surprisingly it was so refreshing.
Happy to hear about your bravery! Please let us know more of your adventures 😉
Would a single serving be like, half a cup?
The scoops on the photos are 1/4 cups. So, two scoops for a single person would make 1/2 a cup.
How much is a single serving? Like an a few ounces?
I…thought my question didn’t get through so I asked again. I apologize. So 1 serving is half a cup is what you’re saying
A single scoop is about 2oz / 60g. If a serving is two scoops then its 4oz / 120g
Well, servings are up to you really. Some people like to have 4 scoops others are content with one. So 2 scoops which makes about half a cup will make some people happy while others not.
