Ninja Creami lemon meringue ice cream is inspired by lemon tarts and lemon meringue pies. It uses lemon curd for that perfect lemony taste and is topped with meringue cookies and shortbread cookies.
This Ninja Creami lemon ice cream recipe reminds me of a delicious lemon meringue tart. Or a lemon meringue pie.
I made a lemony ice cream and then mixed in lemon curd and meringue cookies. I topped with more meringue cookies and crushed shortbread cookies. It was SO good.
As the meringue cookies get added as a mix-in, they create little meringue shards that are such an amazing treat and texture in the ice cream.
And while I added crushed shortbread cookies, you can also use graham crackers instead. Both are delicious.
Ingredients

- Milk
- Sugar
