Cultural Context

Lemon ice cream, or Helado de Limón, is a popular dessert in Spain, especially during the hot summer months.

This refreshing treat is often enjoyed at family gatherings and celebrations, and has inspired variations across the globe, including creamy versions infused with limoncello.
