Recipe Summary Chef John's Lemon Ice
Using the classic Italian granita technique makes this an easy and refreshing summer treat. I love the contrast between that light texture and bright, vibrant flavor.
Ingredients | Lemon Vegan Dessert Recipes4 cups cold water⅞ cup white sugar2 tablespoons lemon zest1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice1 teaspoon lemon extractDirectionsDissolve sugar in water in a pot over medium heat, whisking while water heats up. As soon as sugar dissolves and water is clear, remove pan from heat. While water is still warm, add lemon zest. Allow to cool to room temperature before adding lemon juice.Whisk in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into a baking pan about 9x13 inches. Place in freezer until ice starts to form around the edges, about 40 to 45 minutes. Use a fork to stir up ice. Do this every 20 to 30 minutes until lemon ice reaches your preferred texture, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.For the sugar, 7/8 cup equals 14 tablespoons.Some people prefer their lemon ice on the slushy side. My preference is fully frozen, like shaved ice.Info | Lemon Vegan Dessert Recipesprep:
