FAQs
Can I make this recipe without a blender?
A blender is recommended to fully combine and smooth the ice cream with the lemon mixture. Without a blender, the texture will be less uniform and icy.
Is there a way to make this less sweet?
Yes, reduce the sugar quantity or use a sugar substitute according to your preference. You can also use a low-sugar vanilla ice cream.
