Lemon Curd And Meringue -Virtually No Dairy- Ice Cream Recipe
Lemon Curd And Meringue Non Dairy 'Ice Cream' Recipe. OK we get it, this isn't an ice cream recipe, but ice cream recipe conveys the idea of what's happening here faster than any other phrase. This non dairy frozen dessert recipe is just so good. The meringue folded into the lemon curd and then frozen is just amazing in flavour and texture. As for butter being 'dairy' yes it is, OK - But butter has such a low lactose content, that pretty much anyone with an intolerance can consume it. Added that the quantity is so small per serving, this would qualify under even the most stringent rules as 'lactose Free'.
