Lemon Curd Ripple
This recipe yields roughly 12–14 standard scoops.
Lemon is my all-time favorite citrus. It is so tart and flavorful. When it is mixed with butter and egg yolks to create a classic lemon curd, it’s downright irresistible. This lemon curd is swirled into creamy lemon ice cream, making it quite possibly the most perfect lemony ice cream out there.
For the Lemon Curd
6 large egg yolks
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
½ cup salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
For the Ice Cream
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoons pure lemon extract
½ cup half-and-half
1½ cups heavy cream
To make the lemon curd, begin by beating the egg yolks, granulated sugar and fresh squeezed lemon juice together in a small bowl until combined. Cut the butter into four chunks and set them aside.
Pour the egg yolk mixture into a medium saucepan and cook it over low heat. After about 5 minutes, gently add the chunks of butter and continue to stir until they have melted and the curd has thickened slightly, about another 7 minutes. You will want to whisk the curd constantly so that the eggs do not “cook.” Remove the curd from heat and immediately strain. This will remove any small parts of the egg that might have cooked. Add the heavy cream to the warm curd, and whisk until it is completely incorporated, for about 10 seconds. Pour the curd into a medium-sized bowl and cover it with a layer of plastic wrap. You will want the plastic to touch the top of the curd, so as it cools, it does not form a “skin” on top. Place the curd in the refrigerator to cool completely.
In a medium-sized bowl, make the ice cream by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, pure vanilla extract, pure lemon extract and half-and-half, until the mixture is smooth. Set this aside. With a standing or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, 60 to 90 seconds. Fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the cream that has been whipped. This is your ice cream base. You will want this to be as smooth as possible and lump free. Pour this into an 8 x 8–inch baking dish.
Remove the lemon curd from the refrigerator. Drop large tablespoons (15 ml) of the curd over the top of the ice cream base, using all of it up. Take a butter knife or fork and swirl the curd into the base, ensuring that it is well dispersed throughout the ice cream.
Freeze the ice cream uncovered for 3 to 5 hours or overnight, until it is firm. Cover any leftovers with tinfoil or plastic wrap, and store them in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.
VARIATION: For extra lemony goodness, add an extra 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of pure lemon extract to the ice cream base before swirling in the lemon curd. Continue making the recipe as instructed.

My gardening adventures this week….. cooking at home….
Stewed some plums with honey and sweet cinnamon in the oven; I stirred in a tablespoon of almond liqueur when cooling.
It gave a base to my amaretto plum no churn ice cream that I made the day before. Not too sweet, stew plums on tart side and ice cream on the sweet side; they went well together

No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream
No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream
This No Churn Peach Swirl Ice Cream came about because I’m an ice cream lover of the first degree. While you can always find vanilla ice cream in my freezer for sundaes or root beer floats, I couldn’t resist adding them to plain vanilla no churn ice cream.
The idea for this Peach Swirl Ice Cream dawned on me when I bought Georgia Peaches to make my Peach Jam. I love peach ice cream but it…

Recipe: No Churn Irish Coffee Ice Cream
I’m not sure there are much better ways to finish a meal than with a nice Irish coffee. That warming whiskey laced coffee drink is just caffeinated perfection. We were given a bottle of whiskey for Christmas, but we’re not the whiskey drinking house we once were, so it’s sat looking forlorn for weeks now. It was time it got used, so this week I whipped up a batch of deliciously creamy Irish…
