Rich, creamy Lemon Bar Ice Cream has a subtle flavor with chunks of deliciously tart lemon bars in every bite. The perfect treat for any lemon or ice cream lover!

So, I’ve now eaten ice cream every day for an entire week. And I have to stop myself from eating it at lunchtime too. It’s becoming kind of a problem. But don’t offer to help, because there no way I am sharing.

I usually try to send my ice cream recipes off with someone else, so I won’t be tempted after I have a bowl or two, but this one is ALL ME. Not even sharing with my husband. To be fair, he doesn’t eat ice cream, but even if he did, I’m pretty sure I’d keep this stuff on lockdown.

This perfectly creamy ice cream couldn’t be easier. There’s only a handful of ingredients and the ice cream maker does all the work! You do need to make the lemon bars, but they’re easy too, and it’s never bad to have lemon bars around. Okay, for me it’s REALLY bad, but only in a way that’s awesome. I just can’t get enough.

I used my gluten-free lemon bars, but you could use your favorite recipe or even some from a local bakery. I used 1/3 the batch (8-inch or 9-inch square pan), which ended up being 3 large lemon bars. I also added a little Limoncello at the end. I always add a tablespoon of hard alcohol to keep the ice cream from freezing too hard, and this was the perfect addition. You could always sub vodka or just leave it out if you don’t have any on hand. No need to make a special trip, just get to your ice cream and enjoy!
