Lemon Cake Ice Cream Recipe

Lemon Cake Ice Cream

Lemon Cake Ice Cream is my favorite homemade vanilla bean ice cream recipe folded with chunks Iced Lemon Loaf Cake. Itโ€™s a total birthday party, lemony-summer flavored, rich and cakey experience all in one scoop. You are going to love the flavors of this artisanal ice cream shop flavor at home.

Lemon Cake Ice Cream

Ingredients in Lemon Cake Ice Cream

  • Half & Half and Heavy Cream – both are the essentials to any ice cream base.
  • Egg Yolks – this is what gives the rich thick and creamy custard base to this ice cream.
  • Sugar – gotta have sweetness!
  • Vanilla Bean – I love using fresh vanilla bean but you could also use paste.
  • Lemon Cake – either homemade or store bought will do! I have a great lemon cake recipe here.

How to Make Lemon Ice Cream

  1. Cream – combine half-and-half, heavy cream, and the scraped vanilla bean in a saucepan. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat.
  2. Eggs – Whisk egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine. Temper the cream mixture into the eggs and sugar by gradually adding small amounts, until about a third of the cream mixture has been added.
  3. Cook – Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon and reaches 170 to 175 degrees F.
  4. Strain– strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  5. Cool- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap after cooled and place into the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours or overnight.
  6. Freeze – Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s directions. 
  7. Cake- Dice the lemon cake into small cubes. When ice cream is finished, transfer to a large bowl and fold in cake. Transfer ice cream to storage containers and freeze until firm.
