Lemon and Pineapple Ice-cream
by Tarla Dalal
The Lemon and Pineapple Ice-Cream is a zesty surprise, because it has the soft luscious texture that we always look forward to in an ice-cream, combined with peppy citrus flavours. The refreshing flavour seems to multiply the joy of having ice-cream!
Using a combination of fresh cream and milk thickened with corn flour greatly reduces the cooking time for this ice-cream, making it quite easy and convenient to prepare at home.
