A delicious Lemon Pie Ice Cream Recipe that is easy to make right at home.
I enjoy all kinds of ice cream. It’s always hard for me to choose a favorite, but this Lemon Pie Ice Cream? Oh my! It’s certainly at the top of the list. With a vanilla, graham cracker base and swirls of perky lemon curd, what’s not to like?
Plus, this ice cream recipe couldn’t be easier. It’s as easy as pie! (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) While I do love a good custard base ice cream, this one is a cream/milk base only. It’s easy to mix up in no time. The only hard thing about this recipe is waiting while the base chills enough to churn. Do make sure you allow the ice cream base to fully chill, at least for three hours (the longer is better) to allow the flavors to mingle. Once churned layer the lemon curd with the ice cream and chill until firm (if you can wait that long).
Scoop up a bowl of the Lemon Pie Ice Cream, top it with crushed graham crackers, and grab a spoon. It’s just like sunshine in a bowl!
Happy churning, y’all!

I haven’t made ice cream since December (son’s birthday) so I think it is time and this will definitely be the one I make. Thanx!
So my mouth is watering Amy!!! Need this. Prettiest bowl of ice-cream I’ve ever seen. Recently saw a Southern Living recipe for microwave lemon curd, tried it, it’s excellent. Will be perfect for this ice-cream!
Homemade ice cream is my absolute favorite! Lemon is also one of my favorites to make! I can’t wait to try it out, I’m already itching to pull out my ice cream maker.
