    Lemon Curd Ice Cream (No Churn)

    This Lemon Curd Ice Cream recipe is the perfect treat for summer! It's a super easy to make no churn ice cream that's creamy and zesty. You don't need an ice cream maker to make it, so it's quick and simple to create. I've swirled lemon curd throughout the ice cream for a beautiful leman tang, just what you need on a warm summer's day!

    How to make Lemon Curd Ice Cream

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, lemon zest and lemon extract. In another bowl, whip up the double cream. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture.

    Layer the ice cream mixture into your chosen tin, adding blobs of lemon curd between each layer, and swirling it round with a cocktail stick. Repeat this until the ice cream mixture is used up.

    What lemon curd should you use?

    If you are using a shop bought lemon curd, make sure to get a good quality one. They are worth the extra pennies for that delicious lemon zing! If you fancy giving Homemade Lemon Curd a try, check out my recipe. It's easy and quick to make with only a few ingredients, it's also creamy and silky smooth, and the flavour is incredible!

    Can you use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk?

    No, you must use condensed milk for this recipe to work.

    What container should you use?

    I used a 2lb loaf tin purely for aesthetic purposes, however this recipe makes a little extra than fits in the tin. I would recommend a 2.5L plastic tupperware container with a lid, to prevent freezer burn. Or you can split the mixture between smaller containers if you don't have one big one.

    More tips for making the Lemon Curd Ice Cream

    • You don't have to decorate with the yellow sprinkles, I just thought it looked fun!
    • It’s best to use an electric hand mixer, or a stand mixer, to whisk up the double cream. It will take much longer by hand and require a lot of work!
