He he has grown into an amazing young man; kind, funny, smart, and the love of my life! Just like my love for lemons, my kid is the wonderful combination of sweet and tart.

Lemon Curd Swirl Ice Cream {no-churn}

1 cup heavy cream
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons, juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
Zest from 1 lemon
1/2 cup lemon curd (homemade or store-bought)

Add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and zest into a large bowl and stir until well combined.

Then, in a large bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip.

Add the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed mixture and stir with a spatula until well incorporated.

Pour mixture into a loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula.

Using a spoon drizzle the lemon curd on top of the mixture lengthwise. Note, you may have to stir your lemon curd a bit to get it to the right consistency to drizzle or pour. With a knife, swirl the lemon curd into the mixture until you have a pretty design.

Place in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight, or until firm. Scoop into bowls and enjoy!

Time to dive into a bowl of this dreamy, creamy Lemon Curd Swirl Ice Cream and be happy my son, as you take flight into the amazing adventures your life has to offer! xxoo Mama!
