I say freckles because I chop the chocolate finely and stir them into the cream at the last second. I didn’t want heavy dark chocolate chunks that were too overwhelming. We loved the taste of the ice cream once it had fully chilled. It really tasted like a chocolate dipped lemon peel, one of my favorite desserts!

Ingredients:
- 2 lemonds

- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
- 2 cups light cream
- 1 pinch sea salt
