LEMON FREEZE
View attachment 47736
Back in the 70s, our lovely neighbour Dorothy gave my mother this recipe. It has come in so handy over the years! It's an intensely tangy lemon ice cream with a sweet crunchy base/topping - really easy to make and utterly delicious. Unlike most home-made ice creams, there's no churning or mashing involved: just pour into a loaf tin, freeze, and pudding is sorted!
Ingredients
2oz cornflakes, crushed
2oz caster sugar + 1oz caster sugar
2oz melted butter
2 eggs, separated
7 fl oz condensed milk
¼ pint double cream
Juice and finely grated rind of 2 large lemon
1. Butter a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and sides with foil.
2. Combine the cornflakes, melted butter and 1oz caster sugar, then press
half the mixture into the base of the tin. Put the remaining half of the mixture to one side and put the tin in the freezer.

3. Combine the eggs yolks, condensed milk and cream with an electric whisk. Add finely grated lemon rind and lemon juice, then beat for a few minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Whisk in 2oz caster sugar and fold gently into the lemon mixture, then pour into chilled tin.
5. Sprinkle the remaining cornflake mixture on top, then cover with foil and freeze for several hours, preferably overnight. Remove from freezer 10-15 minutes before eating; turn out on to a plate, peel off the foil and slice to serve.
