Cut the butter into four chunks and set them aside.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pour the egg yolk mixture into a medium saucepan and cook it over low heat. After about 5 minutes, gently add the chunks of butter and continue to stir until they have melted and the curd has thickened slightly, about another 7 minutes. You will want to whisk the curd constantly so that the eggs do not \u201ccook.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n Remove the curd from heat and immediately strain. This will remove any small parts of the egg that might have cooked. <\/span><\/p>\n Add the heavy cream to the warm curd, and whisk until it is completely incorporated, for about 10 seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n Pour the curd into a medium-sized bowl and cover it with a layer of plastic wrap. You will want the plastic to touch the top of the curd, so as it cools, it does not form a \u201cskin\u201d on top. Place the curd in the refrigerator to cool completely.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a medium-sized bowl, make the ice cream by whisking together the sweetened condensed milk, pure vanilla extract, pure lemon extract and half-and-half, until the mixture is smooth. Set this aside. <\/span><\/p>\n With a standing or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, 60 to 90 seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Fold the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the cream that has been whipped. This is your ice cream base. You will want this to be as smooth as possible and lump free. Pour this into an 8 x 8\u2013inch (20 x 20\u2013cm) baking dish.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Remove the lemon curd from the refrigerator. Drop large tablespoons (15 ml) of the curd over the top of the ice cream base, using all of it up. Take a butter knife or fork and swirl the curd into the base, ensuring that it is well dispersed throughout the ice cream.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Freeze the ice cream uncovered for 3 to 5 hours or overnight, until it is firm. Cover any leftovers with tinfoil or plastic wrap, and store them in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n VARIATION: For extra lemony goodness, add an extra 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of pure lemon extract to the ice cream base before swirling in the lemon curd. Continue making the recipe as instructed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nNo-Churn Lemon Ice Cream: Ingredients<\/span><\/h1>\n
