Health benefits of Oops, I Dropped the Lemon Tart

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
10 stems lemongrass (bottom third only, tough outer layers removed), lightly smashed
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons

Instructions

Fill a sink or large stainless steel bowl with ice and arrange a second slightly smaller bowl on top of the ice.
In a heavy medium saucepan over moderate heat, combine the milk, cream, sugar, lemongrass, and lemon zest. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 °F. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into the stainless-steel bowl set over ice. Let the mixture cool, whisking occasionally, until chilled.
Process custard in an ice cream maker then transfer to an airtight container and freeze until hard, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
