This Italian lemon ice is a perfect refreshing treat on a hot summer day! Made with fresh lemons, it’s so citrusy and light!
A great thing about this Italian lemon ice is that you don’t need to have an ice cream machine or any special equipment to make it. If the lack of an ice cream maker was holding you back from making frozen treats, this one will be your first :) To make this delicious lemon ice, all you need is a freezer!
My favorite feature of this Italian lemon ice is the fact that it’s fairly healthy. A healthy dessert – sounds almost too good to be true! There is absolutely zero fat in the Italian ice – how’s that for a fat-free dessert!

Ingredients
- 3 lemons
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Squeeze all the juice out of the lemons. I cut each lemon into 8 parts, then squeeze each piece - this way it yields the most juice :)
- Combine water with sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for several minutes, until the water is hot. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Pour the sugar water and lemon juice into a 9-inch baking dish, and stir to combine. Put it in the freezer.
- After 1 hour, rake it with fork to break up the ice crystals. Repeat raking with fork every hour until the desired consistency is reached (usually around 3-4 hours from the time you first put it in the freezer).
It’s amazing because no ice cream maker is needed for this recipe. Easy and accessible
