Creamy vanilla ice cream swirled with tart lemon curd is a treat worth making year-round. Brighten up your next dessert with this refreshing lemon curd ice cream!
Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
While the ice cream is churning, prepare the lemon curd (see notes). Make sure the curd has cooled to room temperature before adding it to the ice cream.
When the ice cream has finished churning, scoop it into a freezer-safe container with drizzles of lemon curd, creating alternating layers. Freeze until firm.
Serve with warm lemon curd drizzled over each serving, if desired.
Notes
I recommend using homemade lemon curd, but you can also use store-bought lemon curd in this recipe. Just stir it until it is smooth and pourable, heating it for just a few seconds at a time in the microwave, if needed.
