  • Total Time: 6 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

525g double cream

397g condensed milk

Zest of 2 lemons

5 tbsp lemon juice

150g cream cheese

40g icing sugar

75g double cream (for cheesecake filling)

1 tbsp lemon juice (for cheesecake filling)

150g digestive biscuits, chopped

200g lemon curd

Instructions

  1. Prepare Lemon Ice Cream: In a large bowl, whisk double cream, condensed milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until thick and mousse-like (about 3 minutes with a stand mixer). Avoid overmixing.
  2. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, whisk cream cheese, icing sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Gradually add double cream and continue whisking until thick and creamy.
  3. Layer the Ice Cream: Pour half of the lemon ice cream into a loaf tin or freezer-safe container. Spoon dollops of lemon curd, then gently swirl. Add some cheesecake mixture and chopped digestive biscuits, swirling lightly.
  4. Repeat Layers: Add remaining ice cream, cheesecake filling, lemon curd, and digestive biscuits. Top with extra lemon curd and biscuit crumbs.
  5. Freeze: Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Scoop and serve cold.

Notes

Use lemon extract instead of fresh juice for more intense flavor.

Swap digestive biscuits for graham crackers or shortbread.

Add a layer of fresh berries for a fruity twist.

Use white chocolate chunks for extra richness.

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.
