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!

So pretty! I love your photos and this flavor sounds awesome. I love Ice Cream Sunday!
This looks absolutely lovely!!
That first shot just won my heart – I am ALL OVER the lemon dessert thing!
I SERIOUSLY need a bowl of this ice cream, Amy! STAT! It looks heavenly and perfect for humid summer days!
With summer, any icecream is welcome. It is surely a sunshine in a bowl.
My heavens, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a bowl of ice cream so much!!
I saw this post this morning and I was very frustrated because the ice cream looks AMAZING but I couldn’t make it since lemon curd is not sold here in Spain. I’ve just come from the grocery store with a can of lemon curd I found hidden in the international section! I’m going to make this ice cream as soon as possible! 😀
Yay Paloma!
Can’t wait to hear how it turns out. 🙂
You can make your own lemon curd,, in the microwave quite easily. I can’t remember the recipe, but it will be on the net. Lemon juice and zest, sugar and butter or marg. Good luck. You can do orange or lime curd, too
I don’t think I would have trouble choosing this ice cream – goodness gracious it sounds so delicious!!
I’ve made ice cream with lemon curd and honestly it’s the best! There is something about the creamy flavor that is just so perfect!
I love anything and everything lemon!
