lemon licks

Such wonderfully warm and sunny weather obviously calls for even more icy treats. So we have a tub of fresh Lemon Gelato chilling in the freezer too, though I don't think it'll be there long...

I've been on the hunt for the perfect lemon ice cream recipe for ages, and I reckon I've finally found it in my Ciao Bella book.

The author's wife loved it so much she insisted they serve it at their wedding, and I can see why. So smooth and creamy, it has just the right hit of lemon flavor. Plus it's the loveliest shade of pale yellow, just like my Easter eggs from Jo,

making it the ideal Easter Weekend ice cream! Happy Easter!

    Oh blimey, that does look good. We are very into traditional sweet/sour lemonade at the moment - just the thing when it is hot!

    Sounds wonderful, although I've always made Delia Smith's lemon meringue ice cream when I've wanted something lemony!

    I would enjoy the gelato first and then just gaze at the eggs. They look too pretty to eat! What a lovely friend Jo is.

    Very delicate ice-cream with a lovely tangy flavour.

    Since you haven't shared the recipe I think that I will have to get that book. Yesterday we had Simon's family round for a barbecue and we ate so much that I STILL have a trifle resting in my refrigerator.

    How long will this sun last, do you think? I think the last day it properly rained was our visit to Petersham!
