I currently LOVE anything lemon, and didn’t have lemon ice cream until I was an adult. I really really want to make some amazing lemon gelato but I’m kinda confused. All the recipes I see online show using lemon juice in the recipe. …doesn’t lemon curdle milk products?? In the past I’ve make lemon gelato using lemon curd (blended in right before churning) so it wouldn’t curdle the base. But I find it’s quite lacking in the lemon punch i want, but don’t want to dump a whole jar of lemon curd in my quart batch of gelato. Could I maybe add extra lemon juice to the curd to make it pop a little more? Maybe shave the rind and add when cooking the base so it can steep the lemon oil from the rind?
