Preparation Steps
1
Peel and pit the lychees. Then, blend them in a food processor or with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the lychee puree with the lemon juice and vanilla extract. The lemon juice helps preserve the lychee's fresh color and enhances its flavor.
3
In another large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
4
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
5
Add the lychee puree to the cream mixture and gently fold until all ingredients are well combined.
6
Pour the mixture into an airtight container and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely frozen.
7
Before serving, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 5 minutes to make it easier to scoop.
