Make your own Lemon Milkshake at home with Homemade Lemon Curd…
I love Summer and I love lemons. AND this recipe is ALL that! All you need is a heavy duty blender and you´re good to go!
I used the lemon curd I made for my Lemon Meringue Popcorn and Lemon Pie Sundae recipes, and it worked wonders.
So last week my daughter, Teagan, graduated from highschool and we were super super busy. On Wednesday, we spent a day in an amazing spa based in the south of the island to reward her for a job well done. The poor girl was locked up in her room for weeks studying and seriously needed some down time! On Friday night we went to the actual graduation ceremony where she sang Sam Smith´s “Lay Me Down” – a verrrry proud moment for me as a Mother, and you know the tears were rolling…
I simply can´t believe she has grown up so quickly!
Ingredients
- juice of 4 medium sized lemons
- zest of 3 lemons
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 3-4 tablespoons lemon curd
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cup whipped cream
- 0.5 tsp fine lemon zest
- 1 cup milk (I use fat free)
- sprinkles
- more whipped cream
Instructions
- Juice and zest the lemons.
- Whisk the sugar and eggs together well, then add the lemon juice, lemon zest & melted butter.
- Heat on 100% power for 3-5 minutes, stirring every 1 minute (mine took 4 minutes in total).
- Push through a sift to make sure there aren´t any lumps.
- Cover with cling film and let cool down at room temperature.
- When cool store in glass a jar for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
- Mix all the ingredients (except for the sprinkles) together in a heavy duty blender.
- Swirl some cream on the top and sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles.
- ENJOY!
In June I will be flying with her to Barcelona where she will be writing a pre-acceptance exam at a University in Barcelona to study Translation & Interpretation. She was 10 when we moved to Spain which has given her an amazing linguistic capability, And to be fluent in 3 languages, i.e. Spanish, English and Afrikaans. She also has an A2 level in French (one of the subjects she took at school). All because of living in Europe. Definitely one of the huuuuge advantages of living here! Guys I am going to be a Mom of an University student.!! When did I get so olddd!?
To get back to this lemon milkshake – sorry I got sidetracked there for a moment or two – seriously guys this milkshake was super easy to make. and I´ll definitely be making it again soon! 🙂
Hope you´re all having a great week!!

I’m obsessed with Chick-fil-A’s new Frozen Lemonade, so this recipe sounds amazing to me! It would be so light and refreshing for a hot day. I want to try it this summer for sure!
We don´t have Chick-fil-A´s here in Spain but that frozen lemonade sounds so good!! Let me know when you try this milkshake, I´m hoping you love it as much as I do 🙂
This sounds so good I had to pin it. I can’t wait to try it out! Thanks!
I hope you love it as much as I did Tammy! 🙂
Honestly, I’m not much of a milkshake person but I definitely want to try my hand at making your lemon curd. Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe with us at Merry Monday this week. This will be great to beat the heat at the BBQ we’re having next month!

Congratulations to your daughter!!! That is so exciting and you must be SO proud!! You have been on a lemon kick recently, and I am LOVING it, Johlene!! Lemon just screams summer, and so do milkshakes, so this creamy beauty is just perfect! I am wishing I could reach through my screen and grab one of these right now! Definitely giving these a try soon! Pinned! Cheers, dear! <3
Yes soooo proud!! I can´t believe that chapter of her life is completed, I mean I just finished highschool the other day… what happened :-/
ps. yessss lemon = summer! I couldn´t agree more!! 🙂
Wow! Your daughter sounds like an accomplished woman. Three languages – I can hardly speak one..haha
LOL! You made me laugh with this comment! I can totally relate, some days I don´t even remember the day…. 😉
Wow, that video is incredible, Johlene! Teagan has such a beautiful voice! As if I needed any encouragement to move to Europe, too. 3 languages? In another life, I think it would have great to just up and move to Europe. But for now, I’ll be happy with our occasional trips over there. Also, this milkshake makes me happy. What a fun flavor…and perfect for summer! Pass me a straw, please!
Thanks David!! Europe is a great continent to live for sure because there are so many different countries and easy to travel between them but I think you guys that live in the States have the amazing opportunities. I wouldn´t mind living there too 🙂
CONGRATS to your daughter – on her graduating and on her exciting upcoming trip! Wishing her all the best – and wow – what a stunner this milkshake is – and it is made with one of my favorite summertime flavors too!
Thanks so much Shashi!! Xo
