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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repeat Layers: Add remaining ice cream, cheesecake filling, lemon curd, and digestive biscuits. Top with extra lemon curd and biscuit crumbs.
- 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.
