    This No-Churn Lemon Shortbread Ice Cream makes a great all-in-one dessert!

    I almost posted a beef ragu recipe today, but realised that would be a crazy idea in this boiling hot weather!

    I'm sitting here in our office, just off the kitchen, with the door open to the back garden. The cat is sunbathing, and I'm wearing flip flips and the floatiest clothes I could find. Normally I'm a wuss, and the first hint of a breeze has me looking for a cardie, but I can see that today is not going to be a cardie day!

    What an amazing weekend! Chris got through his first full week at Kitchen Sanctuary, and I think he loved it! Hold on, let me ask him......

    Ok, he's got a busy look on his face, but he says it was amazing (in a somewhat sarcastic voice). He's currently wearing his scruffy Christmas elf t-shirt, which I think is one of the things he loves most about working at home.

    After spending all last week being extra good with food, and getting up early to work out (yes, me, the morning hater at at 6:30 am most mornings!), we went in completely the opposite direction over the weekend.

    Saturday afternoon was spent preparing for a BBQ and gin-tasting get-together. After far too many gins - here's our gin brainstorming board btw.....Gin Brainstorming

    I can reveal that my favourite remains the Hendricks with Fever-Tree tonic + cucumber. Very close second was Bathtub gin, with Mediterranean Fever-Tree, plus a light salt-rim on the glass and a decent sprig of rosemary.
    Gin evening!
    We stuffed ourselves with BBQ leg of lamb, slow-cooked ribs, hassleback potatoes, caprese pastry bites, garlic prawns and cod with garlic, lemon and rosemary. As it that wasn't enough, we finished off with a huge pot of melted chocolate with lots of dippy things.

    So now I'm back to being good.

    It's easy to eat salads and iced coffee (Mmmmm coffee cubes) in this heat, but I so want to scoff this ice cream.

    An easy no-churn version, swirled with lemon curd (you can make your own, although I cheated and used some good-quality store bought stuff), and sprinkled with shortbread biscuits.
    SO GOOD!

    Calories 337 kcal

    Ingredients
     

    • 240 ml 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 600 ml 2 ½ cups double/heavy cream
    • 6 tbsp good quality lemon curd
    • 4 shortbread biscuits - crumbled (replace with gluten-free shortbread if required - still tastes great!)

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Pour the condensed milk, vanilla extract and cream into a large bowl or food mixer. Whisk using the balloon attachment or hand whisk until thick (the mixture should hold its shape when you lift the whisk).
    • Take a loaf tin/pie tin or similar freeze-able container and spoon two-thirds of the cream mixture into it in large blobs. Add half of the lemon curd in small dollops over the top. Use a cocktail stick to swirl the lemon curd into the ice cream slightly.
    • Spoon on the remaining ice cream mixture, then dollop on the remaining lemon curd. Swirl again with the cocktail stick.
    • Sprinkle on the crumbled shortbread and place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours. (cover with a lid or clingfilm if freezing for longer).
    • Take the ice cream out of the freezer about 15 minutes before you want to eat it (to allow it to soften).
