How to Make Sicilian Lemon Frost (Gelo di Limone)
Step 1
Wash the lemons thoroughly under running water, then delicately remove the zest with the help of a potato peeler being careful not to damage the white part, which is slightly bitter.
Step 2
In a bowl, soak the lemon peels in the cold water called for in the recipe and leave to infuse for about 6 hours.
Step 3
Once the time has passed, filter the flavored water with a fine mesh strainer.
Step 4
Squeeze the lemons and extract the juice: you will need about 160 ml, if the citrus fruits do not have enough, proceed to squeeze some more.
Step 5
Also filter the lemon juice.
Step 6
In a small saucepan with a heavy bottom, sift the cornstarch and add the granulated sugar.
Step 7
Pour the infused water.
Step 8
Add the lemon juice.
Step 9
Mix thoroughly with a hand whisk to avoid lumps forming.
Step 10
Place on the stove and cook on a low flame for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 11
At this point, pour the mixture into individual molds and transfer to the fridge for at least 6 hours.
Step 12
When ready to serve, unmold the lemon jelly onto dessert plates.
Step 13
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, dip the teaspoon and enjoy.
