SUMMER that´s a word we´ve all being looking forward to! Right? It´s the Season for Sun, Vacation and Barbecue (or “braai” as we say in SA). To celebrate it, I’ve teamed up with a group of amazing Food Bloggers to bring you 50 delicious recipes to celebrate this Summer in BBQ style! For this I´ve made this Lemon Pie Ice Cream Sundae Recipe. Scroll down to the bottom to see all the other recipes for our Great Blogger BBQ!
Recently we went to MacDonald´s with Luca (my 6 year old) and his little friend, Pablo. Not that this was a special event or anything because every time we take the boys out, that´s where they want to go. Lucky us! Ha! But this day I saw something at MacDonald´s I have not seen before a.k.a. LEMON PIE SUNDAE. Ok so maybe where you live it´s been around for years, but it´s the first time I see it here in Gran Canaria (Spain) and it makes me a verrrrry happy girl! 🙂
Lemon Meringue Pie is one of my absolute favourite desserts! Well to be honest anything with a sweet lemon curd is A-ok to me!
I made this Lemon Pie Sundae with lemon curd that I made in the microwave in only minutes! If you saw my last post, Lemon Meringue Popcorn, you would have read about me attempting Facebook live video to show you guys how I make this. It´s so easy and only takes a few ingredients: lemon juice & rind; sugar; egg yolks & melted butter. That´s it and it´s so easy to make!
What you also need is some whipping cream (store bought works just as well); cookie crumbs (I blended mine up in my heavy duty kitchen blender) and last but surely not least, vanilla ice cream! Then all you need are some cute glasses like these or even these, and you´re good to gooooo 🙂 Can I share a secret with you? The glasses I used in this post was actually old candle holders that I bought at Ikea…. 🙂 I don´t like wasting anything and I am a true believer in recycling old products, and of course frugal living!
Ingredients
- Lemon Curd - See how I make mine in the microwave in only minutes!
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Whipped Cream Video recipe here or use store bought
- Cookie Crumbs mixed with melted butter (ration: 1 cup cookie crumbs + 1/2 - 1 tablespoon melted butter)
- Leave some cookie crumbs (without adding melted butter) to decorate the tops.
Instructions
- Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of cookie crumb mix to the bottom of the glasses
- Top with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- Now add the lemon curd, and
- Lastly add the whipped cream and dust with the plain cookie crumbs.
I hope you guys liked this recipe and please don´t forget to check out the 49 other recipes in the Summer Cookout collaboration!

Yes, lemon is seriously good in so many things! 🙂
These cups are perfect for a fresh BBQ treat! I love the Blogger BBQ idea, so many great links to visit! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
Oh lemon, how we love thee!! I have to make these asap! Thanks for sharing with us at The Wednesday Showcase!
Thanks Joanna! And you´re most welcome 🙂
This is such a genius idea. I love lemon pie, but I would have never thought of making pie ice-cream sundae. I wish I could dive into that glass! 🙂
Thanks Anu! I love lemon pie too!! I wish I had some of this to dive into now… 🙂 🙂
I love how you took one of my favorite summertime pies and turned it into an ice cream dish! LOVE this! We will definitely have to try this during the warm months ahead. It sounds so refreshing and tart!
Thanks so much for participating in the Great Blogger BBQ with us today. This has been SO much fun! I hope you and yours have a lovely holiday weekend!
Thanks Erin!! I really is so refreshing and the best about homemade is that you can add more of the ingredients you favour! 🙂 🙂
ps. And thanks for including me in the Great Blogger BBQ!
I love the fresh taste of lemon during the summer months. These Sundaes look fabulous!
Thanks so much Christin!! Can´t wait for the REAL Summer to start though, we´re still experiencing some chilly days on this side… :-/
I love all of these lemon recipes, Johlene! And I also really enjoy recreating recipes that we come across in our wanderings…like the McDonald’s lemon pie. This sundae would not be safe in my kitchen…it looks amazing!! 🙂
I know right! I often wonder how they made something and how I could replicate or better it.. I think I drive my hubby nuts in that way 🙂 🙂
All you had to do was say ice cream and I am ready to make it. This looks absolutely amazing and I especially love the lemon flavor which is my fav. Love this Johlene.
Thanks Kia! I love the tartness the lemon brings!! 🙂
So I am totally willing to bet this sundae tastes 5 billion times better than McDonalds Johlene! This looks absolutely delicious and perfect for summer! Love the lemon pie meets ice cream going on here! Drooling! Cheers, friend!
Haha!! Well maybe it tastes a bit better.. 😉 To be honest the one at MacDonald´s didn´t have enough lemon curd to my liking… 🙂
Just came over from Crepes of wrath, cannot wait to try this. Your recipe says lime curd instead of lemon, just fyi. Your photos are beautiful!
Thanks for letting me know Lea, it´s now fixed 🙂
Lemon Meringue Pie always reminds me of childhood! My mom loved it and so do I! Your spin on this classic dessert is absolutely divine!
Thanks so much Annie!! Lemon Meringue Pie is one of those desserts you can never get tired of.. 🙂
