I've got an ice cream specific cook book at home, so if you can wait an hour or so I can look for a recipe for you. No guarantee there will be an egg free citrus one, but I am happy to check.

Hi, Merrill posted a great no egg recipe for Lime Ice Cream a while back: http://bit.ly/aDeSle
I have made it many times, using tangerines, with great results. It is sooo good!!

If you go to Epicurious.com and do an advanced search on lemon ice cream you can exclude eggs from the search. http://www.epicurious.com...=

Thanks hardlikearmour - any extra recipes are always exciting!

Thanks Gingerroot. That's really helpful. It's really hard to find an egg free citrus ice cream recipe so at least now I know it will work AND I have something to use my fancy limes for.

Well, if you in the middle of making it...it's pretty much ready to launch.

Google some recipes with agar agar (available at Asian stores and health food stores). It will replace eggs and make a very creamy texture of the ice cream.

My book only has custard based citrus ice cream recipes. There is a lemon frozen yogurt recipe, though.

Cook's illustrated has a great orange sherbet recipe that uses cream, sugar, zest and juice. It also calls for Cointreau but I find it a bit too cloying. I use vanilla instead. It has a great ice cream consistency.

If you are paranoid about curdling, you can lightly simmer the lemon juice with some of the sugar to make a lemon syrup, and then add that to the milk along with the zest. You will have to use more lemons but the flavor will be more concentrated.

If you want to get creative, you could throw some whole spices into the simmering syrup to get more flavor, like a star anise or some strands of saffron (which will add more pretty yellow color naturally).

I do a nartjee (a South African mandarin) sherbet frequently using Joy of Cooking's Orange Milk Sherbet recipe as a base. Joy tells us not to worry if the milk curdles as it won't affect the texture after freezing. FWIW, I rather prefer the lightness of the sherbet vs. an ice cream. A cleaner citrus taste, I think. I've posted this recipe a few times now, so I finally just added it to my profile.

I know this is a bit tardy, but if you search for a gelato recipe (specifically) that will have no eggs.
