Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
lemon zest (more for garnish - optional)
-
4
large lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup lemon juice)
-
3/4 cup
sugar
-
2 cups
heavy whipping cream
-
24
Lemon Oreos: Crush 12 of them, cut the other 12 into quarters. Plus more for garnish if desired
-
5 1/2 ounces
lemon curd
-
1 tablespoon
water
Directions
-
In a small bowl, mix the lemon curd and water thoroughly.
-
Grate at least 2 tablespoons of lemon peel (slightly more for garnish).
-
Squeeze the lemons and reserve the juice.
-
Place lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat on high until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted.
-
Fold in all of the crushed Lemon Oreos.
-
Pour ½ of the whipping cream mixture into a 9x5 freezer-safe container. Add 5 tablespoon dollops of lemon curd mixture evenly distributed across the container, then drag a butter knife or thin spatula through the dish 2-3 times to create some ribbons.
-
Add ½ the quartered oreos (push some of them down into the cream).
-
Pour the rest of the whipping cream mixture into the container, and follow the same steps again with the rest of the ingredients.
-
Cover and freeze in the coldest part of your freezer for 3 – 6 hours, or until it's hard.
-
Scoop and enjoy. Garnish with more lemon zest and Lemon Oreos if desired.
-
Note you can skip the lemon curd if you want to simplify the recipe even more - the outcome is still amazingly delicious.
