Lemon-Hibiscus Frozen Custard
This Lemon-Hibiscus Frozen Custard is a super sophisticated dessert to make for those long hot summer days. Hibiscus is a flower which creates a delicious tangy tea drink when infused with hot water. In this recipe, hibiscus is the star of the show!
If you follow the instructions properly, there is no need to be frightened of making your own custard. The secret to custard is to keep whisking as you add warm ingredients to cold. Without vigorous whisking, it is possible that you’ll end up with scrambled egg! Once the custard is made, add lemon juice and hibiscus tea. Freeze for a sophisticated delicious summer dessert!

Flavorful and simple dessert really enjoyed this thanks so much for sharing it with me.
Wasn't the worst thing I've tried but it's definitely not for those who are bad with sour stuff..myself included.
Would recommend it for sure it's fast and delicious.
Heavenly dessert it was extremelyy flavorful and simplified for beginner like me.
Brilliant texture and so simple to make just wish it wasn't expensive i literally bought an icecream machine for all these recipes ( coffee icecream was the main reason LOL)
Obsessing over the taste of this! Goes great with fruit and basically any topping i used caramel ;)
Mann I had such a hard time perfecting the taste of this it took me like 2-3 tries to actually make it sweet and not just lemon juice tasting hahaha, worth it though I got me some homemade frozen custard for a solid week atleast.
Nicely done Lilly, you've outdone yourself again with this dessert.
Can I replace the heavy cream with some greek yogurt or does it have to be specific?
Disappointed that i need an icecream machine wish there was another way because they are so over priced and not worth buying if i can just buy icecream for a dollar.

Yummy hibiscus ice cream!! Thanks.
Good idea going to try it out tonight but maybe toss in a few more things like crunched almonds or walnuts.
