Merengue Milk

To prepare a delicious milk ice cream with citrus and cinnamon flavor, we will start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 500 ml of fresh milk, 100 g of sugar, the zest of one lemon, a stick of cinnamon, and 2 egg whites. The preparation of this recipe is simple, but it is important to carefully follow each step to achieve a creamy and flavorful final result.

Start by putting the milk in a pot over medium heat. Add the lemon zest, the 100 g of sugar, and the stick of cinnamon. Stir gently to help the sugar dissolve. Let the mixture simmer gently, being careful not to burn it, for about 5-7 minutes. This step is essential, as the flavor of the lemon and cinnamon will infuse into the milk, giving it a refined taste. Once the sugar has completely melted, remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Once the milk has cooled, strain it through a fine sieve to remove the lemon zest and the cinnamon stick. Pour the filtered milk into a container and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent ice crystals from forming, until it reaches a semi-solid consistency, similar to granita.

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites in a clean bowl using an electric mixer until you achieve a firm foam. Gradually add 50 g of sugar, continuing to mix until the foam becomes shiny and firm. This step will add an airy and light texture to your ice cream.

When the milk is sufficiently frozen, remove it from the freezer and carefully fold the egg white foam into the frozen milk using a spatula. Stir gently, so as not to deflate the air in the foam. Once the ingredients are well combined, the ice cream can be served immediately.

For a perfect finishing touch, sprinkle a little powdered cinnamon on top of each serving before enjoying it. This milk ice cream with lemon and cinnamon flavor will surely be a refreshing and flavorful treat, perfect for warm days. I wish you a good appetite and enjoy every bite!
