2. Chill the Mixture: Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
3. Combine the Ingredients: In the Ninja Creami pint container, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and chilled lemon curd.
4. Process the Mixture: Insert the Creamerizer blade into the Creami and process the mixture on the “Ice Cream” setting for 30-45 seconds.
5. Freeze the Treat: Once processed, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Tips for a Perfectly Tangy Treat
- For a stronger lemon flavor, use more lemon juice and zest.
- If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, you can use a regular ice cream maker. Just churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- To make a dairy-free version, use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk instead of heavy cream and whole milk.
Variations to Suit Your Sweet Tooth
- Lemon Raspberry Swirl: Add a cup of fresh or frozen raspberries to the Ninja Creami pint container before processing.
- Lemon Blueberry Burst: Fold in a cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the processed mixture before freezing.
- Lemon Cheesecake Delight: Combine the lemon curd with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese before adding it to the Ninja Creami pint container.
Serving Suggestions for a Zesty Treat
