These ice-creams do not need to be beaten during freezing, and can be served straight from the freezer.

To taste at its best, home produced ice-cream should be consumed within a couple of days, because it does not contain additives that prolong its shelf life.

LEMON CURD ICE-CREAM

500 ml (1 pt) double cream

Use home-made lemon curd, or buy lemon curd that has butter, lemons, sugar and eggs as the ingredients.
