Lemon Curd Ice Cream

This recipe came from a Blog I read called Tracey's Culinary Adventures. She has a wide range of Ice Cream recipes and I decided to print off a few of my favourites and go on an ice cream making journey! This is sitting at the top of our list so far. If you are a lemon lover this is an outstanding ice cream, worth buying a machine for!!

You can find the recipe here.

The recipe asks for fresh homemade lemon curd so here is a recipe for you, and with the remaining lemon curd that you don't use spread all over your toast for the next week!
And make a pavlova from your egg whites! Or marshmallows!
