As far as my wife is concerned, you can have almost anything with chocolate. When it comes to me, I can like almost anything as long as it’s with ice cream. The traditional banana split is always a hit or just the straight ice cream keeps me happy.
Here is a recipe for I got from my sister-in-law for home made lemon ice cream. It’s perfect for a hot summer day or it’s also great as a base for any flavor. I love trying this recipe with all kinds of flavors (just replace the lemon with vanilla for instance) and adding in leftover bits of sweets around the house. Chocolate cake or cookies are a good start.
The possibilities are endless but the freezer space isn’t. It’s best if eaten the same day.
Kristen’s Lemon Ice Cream:

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

I hope you’re having a sweet summer!
