This Kitchen Wisdom Gluten Free Lemon Ice recipe is my interpretation of a New York City kid’s “Italian Ice” experience.  All over the five boroughs and suburbs of New York City, one can still find pizza places with scoops of Italian Ices in large accordion cups.  Creamy and sweet, icy and cold, lemon ice is a delicious frozen treat. Pronounced “ice-e” or “ices” to most city kids of a certain age group, lemon ice is very yummy on a hot day.  I hope you enjoy my homemade interpretation.

I use a small affordable ice cream maker.  Freeze the maker’s bowl the night before.   Sorbet relies on fresh fruit, its juice, and occasional additional water and sugar.  A Sorbetto is more intense; it is a bit softer and less icy, and is commonly known as “Italian Ices”.   I use a stabilizer of guar gum to reduce ice formation and create a creamier texture, without having to use eggs.  Quick and easy, I created this recipe using store bought lemonade.  I use organic lemonade for this, as the organic lemon juice tastes like lemon and maintains its own flavor integrity. 

     Yields approximately 1 ½ quarts

2 2/3  cups Lemonade

¾  cup Heavy Cream

1/2 cup Sugar

¼  teaspoon Guar Gum

 

The night before preparing this recipe, place churn in freezer, along with ice cream storage bowl. The storage container must have a tight fitting lid.

Mix all ingredients in a blender first.  Then transfer the ingredients to the bowl or churn of your ice cream maker.

Allow churn to rotate for 25 minutes.

Transfer to chilled storage containers.  Place in the back of freezer close to the bottom.

Enjoy in a few hours, later that night, or the next day.
