Ingredients
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
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy base for the ice cream.
- 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.
- Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the lemon curd mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to overmix to maintain the fluffiness. For extra lemon flavor, add a few more spoonfuls of lemon curd and lightly swirl it in to create beautiful ribbons.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container, smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for the best texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. Serve on its own, in cones, bowls, or accompanied by shortbread cookies for an extra special treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix when folding to keep the ice cream light and fluffy.
- Allowing the ice cream to soften slightly before scooping helps achieve smooth, easy servings.
- You can use store-bought lemon curd or make your own for a more homemade touch.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker and is a quick way to enjoy homemade ice cream.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
