Gelato Base
Preparation
1. Make the Lemon Gelato Base
In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Incorporate Dairy
Add heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the lemon mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it's completely chilled.
4. Churn the Gelato
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
5. Freeze the Gelato
Transfer the gelato to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
6. Prepare the Limoncello Swirl
Once the gelato is firm, take it out of the freezer and let it soften slightly. Swirl in the Limoncello gently with a spatula.
7. Serve
Scoop the Limoncello gelato into flute glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice.
