Ingredients

8 People
  • For the ice cream:
  • 4 Large egg yolks
  • 475 ml Heavy cream
  • 230 ml Whole milk
  • 200 g Granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp. Finely grated lemon zest, plus more for serving
  • 0.5 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 230 ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice, from about 4 lemons
  • 60 ml Fruity olive oil
  • For serving:
  • Olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt

Preparation

Step 1
Whisk egg yolks together in a medium bowl; set aside.
Large egg yolks
Step 2
Combine cream, milk, sugar, 3 teaspoons lemon zest and the salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges. Ladle about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the egg yolks and whisk vigorously to temper the eggs.

ml Whole milk
g Granulated sugar
tsp. Finely grated lemon zest, plus more for serving
tsp. Kosher salt
Step 3
Pour the egg and cream mixture back into the pan and whisk well to combine. Cook the mixture on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
Step 4
Slowly stream in the lemon juice and olive oil while whisking constantly, then whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Chill the mixture in a bowl set over an ice bath until completely cool. Alternatively, cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator, covered, at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 6
Serve scoops of ice cream with a drizzle of fruity olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and lemon zest.
