Lemon Ice Cream- Can be made Vegan!

The one piece of kitchen equipment I do not own is an ice cream machine.  This delicious little recipe showed up in my inbox.  It's not my creation.  But I tried it and I really like it.  I reduced the calories by using low fat Half and Half.  If you wanted to really reduce the calories, use Splenda instead of sugar!  So I am sharing.  Here's is the super easy Lemon Ice Cream recipe to try.  To make this you will need:
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar
1 pint half and half (vegans use soy creamer)

1.)  Blend all ingredients well.  I used a mixer.  Next time I will use the blender!
2.)  Pour into a loaf pan.
3.)  Freeze for three hours.  There is no need to still, it will freeze smooth.  Take it out a few minutes before serving to be able to spoon it.  I served with fresh blueberries.  It is quite sweet, so it might go better on a slice of apple pie, or reduce the amount of sugar.  It is light and refreshing!
