This recipe is the perfect antidote to a hot summer’s day; lip smackingly sharp, sweet, and zesty, lemon gelato is surprisingly easy to make at home with a small amount of prep and can be stashed in the freezer until needed. Dextrose powder helps to create the gloriously dense, smooth texture of traditional gelato, but don’t worry if you can’t find it – simply replace with the same weight of sugar. Remember to place the freezer bowl in the freezer 24 hours in advance.
