Method
Wash the lemons thoroughly and trim off the ends.
Place the whole lemons (including peel) into a blender together with the coconut milk and maple syrup.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and the lemon zest is fully incorporated.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Lemon peel is fully incorporated into the smooth blend.
Pour the blended mixture into an ice‑cube tray, spreading it evenly.
Freeze the tray for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the cubes are solid.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cubes are solid enough to release from the tray.
Remove the frozen lemon cubes from the tray and return them to the blender.
Blend again until the cubes break down and the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, resembling soft‑serve ice cream.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Frozen cubes blend into a creamy, soft-serve texture.
Serve the lemon ice cream immediately, optionally garnished with a thin lemon zest or a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
