Lemon Snow Balls

Ingredients:

• 5 large lemons
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
• ¾ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup sugar
• fresh raspberries (garnish)
• mint leaves (garnish)

Directions:

1. Cut lemons in half lengthwise to resemble boats. Cut small sliver of peel from bottom of
   lemons to stabilize base. Remove pulp from lemons to form a shell using a spoon or melon-baller. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze.
2. In large freezer-safe bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, and cream. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze 8 hours or up to overnight.
3. Remove from freezer. Process in food processor or beat with an electric mixer until smooth.  Do not over process, mixture should hold very firm peaks. Spoon into lemon shells, cover, and freeze until firm, 2 hours or up to 3 days.
