Lemon Cake (Deluxe)¶

A slice of Italian sunshine, one scoop at a time.

Inspired by Italian lemon ricotta cake, this captures the essence of the classic dessert in frozen form, and adds a spirited Limoncello twist (see the ingredients for a non-alcoholic alternative).

Process on Sorbet, hold it shortly under running water after that. Then a scrape-down and a respin or mix-in.

Rating: 😋🍋🍋🍰🍰 (lemony-cheesy as expected, not very sour, but refreshing)

Processed using Sorbet, followed by a scrape-down, respin, and mix-in with a diced frozen slice of cake.
