Instructions

  1. Place the egg yolks in a saucepan with the sugar and lemon curd. Whisk until you have a smooth paste.
  2. Whisk in the milk, cream and lemon juice, and mix well.
  3. Heat the custard over medium heat while whisking frequently, until it registers between 165 - 170 °F (or until the custard is steaming, but NOT boiling).
  4. Allow the custard to cool down completely to room temperature. Chill the custard for at least a couple of hours, OR overnight in the fridge.
  5. Churn the custard in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Then scrape the churned ice cream into a container, and let it freeze until hardened (OR have it as soft-serve ice cream immediately after being churned).
  6. Serve as is, or topped with fruits.

Notes

  • Add some fresh raspberries for lemon and raspberry ice cream.
  • Swirl in some blueberry compote after churning for a blueberry ripple lemon ice cream. 
  • Add some lavender to the custard (before cooking) for a lemon and lavender ice cream.
  • Serve with lemonade for a refreshing lemonade soda float OR with a tequila or vodka spritzer for an alcoholic ice cream soda float!
