Ice Cream Cake with Lemon curd and Meringues

Eveyone likes ice cream, no doubt about that. But no one dares to make as it takes so much time if you don't have an ice cream machine. Well guess what, this is so easy to make, you will definitely be tempted to give it a shot. It's done in minutes. With as simple as 5 ingredients . You can whip up with different ingredients if you like to your taste and imagination. I love doing this recipe as it's nice to have a dessert in your freezer. Even if you have guests, or simply you feel like a treat, you know you have it! It's called ice cream cake, as it will have the shape of a vienetta , and you can cut it in slices and serve with a chocolate sauce, some fruit or maybe even both.

Ice-Cream Cake

Ingredients

300ml of double cream
8 nests of meringues
3 tbsp of sugar
4 tbsp of lemon curd
Rind (skin) of 1 lemon

Will serve about 6 slices
Level : easy
Preperation time: 10 minutes
Setting time: over night

Method

Get a mixing bowl big enough to fit all the ingredients. Pour the double cream in. Add the sugar and whip it till nice and stiff. You canuse an electric whipper, easier and quicker. But if you don't have one you can do it by hand. Easy enough. Just whip as hard as you can. Now get the meringues and crmble them to bits , and in with the cream they go. Add the lemon cur and the lemon ring mix it all trough , and there you go! Done. Pour it into a dish. I cover the bottom with cling film and then with the ends cover the top. So then when set you just pull it all out easliy with the cling film. If you don't use the cling film you won't easily take it out without breaking it. And it doesn't look so nice when served.

Ice-cream befor set.
