This homemade Lemon Curd Ice Cream is a creamy, refreshing no-churn dessert made with just four ingredients. The tangy lemon curd blends perfectly with sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, and vanilla, creating a light yet indulgent treat ideal for summer.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon curd until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the lemon curd mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to overmix. Optionally, swirl in extra lemon curd for more flavor.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap.
  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
  6. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften. Scoop and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a pie-like texture, mix crushed shortbread cookies into the ice cream before freezing.
  • Top with fresh berries or lemon zest for extra flavor and presentation.
  • Swap lemon curd with lime curd for a tangy twist.
  • Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
