Fantastic ice cream recipe! I used the zest of a whole lemon (was slightly more than 2 teaspoons), and it was delicious! ( I did accidentally add it in with the milk mixture and chilled and churned it with the liquid ingredients....maybe that gave it a wonderful lemon flavor?!) The whole office and family loved it! I will definitely make this again!

This ice cream freezes nicely to a "scoopable" consistency. Overall a nice recipe. I was looking for a fruity ice cream with a ka-pow zing, and this one does alright-- the lemon zest certainly helps, but I was underwhelmed by the berry flavor. Cassis might help, but I'm not enough of an ice cream expert to know how to do that without a recipe.
