marscapone and limoncello icecream!

Finally after days of thinking and talking about this ice cream I decided to make it. My first attempt ever at ice cream!  Firstly I made a syrup with 5oz sugar, water and juice and rind of one lemon (200mls) then when cool I added 250g marscapone, 500mls cream, 50ml limoncello.  Into the ice cream machine for 50mins then into the freezer.  Taste test - disappointing (but edible) and did taste alot better after a few glasses of wine:)  A synthetic lemony aftertaste prevailed which has put me off repeating the exercise - sort of like boiled sweets, when you would be hoping for the gorgeous real lemon taste. According to the experts here this is what limoncello tastes like!  The good thing is that 50mls limoncello made the ice cream soft enough to scoop immediately and the marscapone component was positively creamy hmmmm ponderations.
