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.
