1. Prep the Lemon: Zest the lemon to capture its vibrant oils and juice it to extract its tangy essence.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.
3. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
4. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The churning process introduces air into the mixture, creating a light and airy texture.
5. Freeze and Serve: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
