The wonderful combination of lemon and poppy seeds in a silky smooth ice cream. This Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream is easy to make and does not require an ice cream machine!
I decided to join the Lucky Leaf Recipe Contest hosted by Something Swanky. I wanted to think of a new and unexpected way to use a can of pie filling. If you have spent any time on my site, you know that I am a HUGE ice cream lover! So, when brainstorming recipe ideas my thoughts naturally went to ice cream. Really, I should create an entire site dedicated to ice cream!
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 and Lucky Leaf has 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.

September 5, 2013 atThanks 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!
