This Lemon Curd Ice Cream recipe offers a creamy, tangy, and easy homemade dessert treat that combines the bright citrus flavors of lemon curd with the rich creaminess of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk. Perfect for a refreshing summer dessert or a zesty finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This will create a light and airy base for the ice cream.
  2. Mix the Lemon Curd Base: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon curd until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the lemon curd mixture into the whipped cream. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the light and fluffy texture. For an extra tangy lemon touch, add a few extra spoonfuls of lemon curd and gently swirl it in.
  4. Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve in cones, bowls, or accompanied by shortbread cookies for an indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Add crushed shortbread cookies to the ice cream before freezing for a delightful pie-like texture.
  • Top with fresh berries or a sprinkle of lemon zest to enhance the citrus flavor and presentation.
  • Substitute lime curd for lemon curd to create a tangy twist and a different citrus flavor profile.
