This Lemon Curd Ice Cream recipe combines the tangy brightness of lemon curd with the creamy richness of whipped heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. It’s a no-churn, simple-to-make dessert that delivers refreshing citrus flavor with a smooth, fluffy texture perfect for any ice cream lover.

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, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will create the fluffy texture that makes the ice cream light and creamy.
  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. This mixture provides the sweet and tangy flavor foundation.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the lemon curd mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. Take care not to overmix to maintain the airy texture. For extra pockets of lemon flavor, swirl in a few additional spoonfuls of lemon curd without fully blending it in.
  4. Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, to allow it to fully set.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Before scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Serve in cones, bowls, or alongside shortbread cookies for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • For extra lemon zest, you can add 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest to the lemon curd mixture before folding it into the whipped cream.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sweetened condensed milk slightly and adjust to taste.
  • Use high-quality lemon curd or make your own homemade lemon curd for the best flavor.
  • This is a no-churn ice cream, so no ice cream maker is required.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
