Original Post:

At a recent family gathering, my sister offered to bring dessert. She had been checking out this recipe, and wanted to try it on us. She made it and offered me the recipe (plus the chance to photograph her delicious dessert) for our blog, and of course I couldn’t resist!

These lemon cookie ice cream sandwiches were so delicious! The lemon cookies would have been a treat by themselves. And I was surprisingly fond of the lemon ice cream as well. But put them together, and it was absolutely delicious!

You can easily make your own lemon curd for this recipe.  Get the directions for homemade lemon curd here.

I was also surprised by how filling these were.  I didn’t expect a 9×9 pan to go that far, but we ended up cutting them smaller than we originally made them, because no one could finish them!  I think you could easily get 16 servings out of the pan, but maybe you like your dessert more than we do, so I’m putting it at 12 servings.  Enjoy!
