Easy Lemon Ice Cream Recipe
This ice cream gives you a ton of flavor and texture with very little effort. The base is made with milk, cream, sugar and a secret ingredient . . . Lemon Pie Filling! Add the poppy seeds for a fabulous crunch. That’s it! You have an unbelievably rich and creamy lemon ice cream filled with bursting poppy seeds.
This ice cream is perfect for me because I love the lemon and poppy seed combination. But I’m a weirdo that doesn’t really like muffins. So now I can enjoy the flavor without having to eat a lemon poppy seed muffin.
Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream is just the beginning. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think that any pie filling could be used to make ice cream so there are a ton of flavors to choose from.
That is why I love participating in contests and challenges. I’m not really competitive, but it gets me thinking outside of the box and using new ingredients in different ways.

Hi! Saw your recipe on Pinterest and re-pinned it, but had to say that my Hubster’s favorite flavor is LEMON-ANYTHING! I know he will absolutely die over this delectable treat! Thanks for posting it!

Hi Deb! I hope the Hubs likes this ice cream 🙂
YUM! I love that this doesn’t require an ice cream maker. Although I totally want to get one someday, I don’t have one yet but still want to try making my own. Thanks for posting!
Thanks Gillian! I am obsessed with my ice cream maker … I use it all the time!
Are you kidding me? Why has no one thought of this before? I love lemon poppy seed muffins. What a great idea to put the flavor into ice cream! Pinned.
Thanks Heidi! I’m sure I’m not the first to come up with this. Every time I think I have an original recipe creation, I google it and find out that it is not so original after all. But, this is super-duper simple and tasty!
Dear Nicole, I’m also a huge fan of enjoying the flavor of lemon and poppyseed together. I have a question…. Do you think a jar of lemon curd could be used in place of the lemon pie filling?
I have just come across your site searching for icecream and gelato recipes and I’m enjoying the read! Can’t wait to get cooking and cooling!
Thank You!
