Lemon Curd Ice-cream
....but is more a frozen yogurt,
Fold 340g of natural yogurt( not the set type) into 340g of homemade lemon curd then freeze
After 3-4 hours you have the most luscious citrus ice-cream

JD - Just sitting here eating my cone now. Not too bad at all, if anything a little too lemon curdy so perhaps a little less of that next time instead of equal quantities with the yoghurt. I had 3 jars of lemon butter in the fridge so I was pleased to be able to use up 2 of them in one hit on this recipe.
I've just checked on mine to see how hard it set overnight. It is quite firm but I could spoon some out - happy with that.
Lilli31 - I just found this from nigella too...
Nigella’s Lemon Meringue Ice Cream from How To Eat
I saw this recipe of Jane and Elizabeth’s Pelly’s in the Womens chefs of the Great Britain, though I’ve changed it slightly here. The original version specified home made meringues and home made lemon curd, but I brazened it out with the bought stuff and suggest, for ease, that you do too. If you are using shop meringues and curd you may to add more lemon juice and zest or it will be too sweet. Taste to see, it needs an edge to it:
600ml whipping cream
225g greek yogurt
320g lemon curd
juice and zest of 2 lemons
6 meringue nests
Whip the cream until fairly stiff and fold in the yogurt. Add the lemon curd, lemon juice and zest (you will find it easier to stir in the curd if you add the lemon juice to it first) and the meringues, broken up into small pieces, but not so small so that they dissolve into dust.
Put into a container, it should be a shallow rather than tall one and freeze, And that’s all there is to it. Ripen in the fridge for 40 minutes before you want to eat it. You could dribble over it some clear honey or some more lemon curd diluted to runniness with lemon juice.

Ok, so I kind of did a combo... I was happy that there was enough citrus used in the curd, to not need any more in it. I did do a cream/yoghurt combo though. 600gm cream, whipped with a little icing ugar. Then folded that through 400gm Greek yoghurt. Plus 300gm ( roughly) of my curd. Then I put a few dogs of curd on top and swirled it through. I have always liked he taste of ice-cream and yoghurt mixed, creamy and yet not too sweet.
I have had it in for a few hrs and just tested and mixed it a bit. Tastes good, but I think it will be rich, so won't need much. Would go nice on a meringue though, just like a frozen lemon meringue pie!!!
maddy - I have made that ice cream Lilli.......it's glorious!
-
Good work CC - and the best part is that it is so easy to make lemon curd in the TMX !! :-* :-*
-
Have just made my first batch of citrus curd ( juice from 3 limes, one lemon and a bit of oj)... Now to make this delicious tart icecream... Will be gorgeous I'm sure!!! I'm wondering if a mix of cream and yoghurt might be good, or if the yoghurt alone might be ok.
Also I wonder if you could freeze this and I the egg white trick with it??? Like the strawberry mousse etc???

I've just put this into the ice-cream maker. Will let you know how it tastes later.

Cool JD!!!

Ooooh, all so tempting. Love my lemon, but I think I like to think it will have a creaminess too. I might do a version of this. ( minus meringues, n do that next time) :-)) :-))
-
Lilli33, i think you might have to add a little honey, to compensate for leaving the Meringue out. Especially with the addition of the 2 lemons. Let us know how you go.

Judy and Lilli33, thanks for those comments I love anything with a lemon tang.
-
I had forgotten all about this recipe. :o At least you used up some lemon curd Judy :D
-
Sure did CC, I make these things then struggle to eat them. A quick one with very little prep work needed.
-
Yeah chookie, me too. I'm a tang/citrus fiend... And my son has got my taste for it ;) ;) ;)
-
OMG, This sounds like heaven, must make sime lemon curd so i can make this.
Judy which lemon curd recipe did you use?
H :)

MJ's CWA Lemon Butter (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2578.0) Hally
-
Thanks super hero.
If I make 1/2 the quantty & use this amount with the full amount of yogurt woukd that make it less citrusy & work well. Or should i make the full batch & just add less.
H :)
-
You might as well make the full amount Hally, small quantities are such a waste of effort and vanish too quickly. Mix less curd in, taste it and then adjust to your own tastes before churning it.
I've just checked on mine to see how hard it set overnight. It is quite firm but I could spoon some out - happy with that.
