How to Make Clementine Ice Cream

Enjoy the delicious blend of Meyer lemon and clementine in this homemade ice cream. The added pecan praline gives a lovely crunch. It’s a great choice for hot days, offering both refreshment and satisfaction.

Here’s what you need for this tasty Clementine Ice Cream:

2 cups milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
The zest of 2 Meyer lemons
The zest and juice of 8 clementines
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pecan praline pieces

First, heat the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the egg yolks, cornstarch or flour, salt, and the lemon and clementine zest and juice.

Slowly add the warm milk to the eggs, whisking to avoid curdling. Then, cook this mix in a saucepan on low. Stir until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

Next, sieve the mix to remove lumps or zest. Cover it with plastic wrap, touching the surface to stop skin forming. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

After chilling, mix in the heavy cream. Pour into an ice cream machine. Churn as directed until it’s like soft-serve. Add pecan praline and mix well.

Pour the ice cream into a container and freeze for 2 hours. Once it’s firm, serve the Meyer lemon and clementine ice cream in bowls or cones.

This creamy and cool dessert is great for summer. The clementines and Meyer lemons add a tangy sweetness. Pecan praline brings in a fun crunch, creating a delightful treat.
