preparation time: 20 minutes plus freezing time 

serves 12 

 

½ cup lemon juice 

1 cup sugar plus ¼ cup 

¼ cup light corn syrup (I use regular) 

½ cup whole un-blanched almonds 

2 cups buttermilk, shaken to blend 

½ teaspoon almond extract 

 

Combine lemon juice, 1 cup sugar and corn syrup in small saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature. 

 

Place almonds in small dry skillet over medium heat. Shake until nuts are fragrant and evenly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. 

 

Mix almonds and remaining ¼ cup sugar in food processor or blender. Process to a powder and set aside for topping. 

 

In a medium bowl, stir cooled lemon syrup, buttermilk, and almond extract. Refrigerate well. Transfer to ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve in small bowls with almond and sugar topping.
