Cook's Note
Smooth Move
For the best texture, freeze the ice cream in a shallow, flat container.
This tastes wonderful and is beautiful, but the texture could use improving. A little crumbly rather than smooth and freezes very hard.
I made this ice cream and it is fabulous. I especially like the lemon zest influence, and I would make this with blueberries or peaches or dark red cherries. Be sure to fold the fruit in before the ice cream gets to firm or you will have to thaw it before you add the fruit.
