How to hollow out lemon halves:
- Cut each lemon in half, vertically. Using a paring knife, cut along the pith of the lemon. Then, using a melon baller or spoon, gently remove the pulp. Set the halves aside for the ice cream.
- Reserve the pulp and strain for the lemon juice for other purposes.
For the ice cream:
- In a chilled metal bowl, whisk heavy cream and vanilla with a hand mixer until soft, medium peaks form.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and carefully fold it into the cream.
- Next, add the lemon curd, again carefully folding it into the mixture.
- Fill the prepared lemon halves with the ice cream. Store the remaining ice cream in a freezer-tight container.
- Wrap the lemons in cling film and store in the freezer for about 2 hours until ready. Serve with a garnish of mint. Enjoy!
