Recipe Notes

Chill the work bowl of your food processor and the dessert bowl thoroughly in the refrigerator before making the ice cream.
Adding the lemon juice to the whipping cream will bring out the flavor of the ice cream.
For those who are concerned about calories, substitute yogurt for whipping cream. This will make it a little more healthy and refreshing as well.
Store seasonal fruits in the freezer so that you can enjoy the ice cream all year round.
