Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Prepare the cream: Combine the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 8 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.

    Add the butter, one piece at a time, stirring with a wooden spatula. Cook the cream, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes, until the mixture thickens enough to stick to a spatula.

    Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve with a rubber spatula into a medium bowl to remove any lumps. Add the lemon zest and salt. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice. Place the bowl with the custard on the ice and let it cool completely, stirring occasionally.
  2. Prepare the base: Grease a 20cm square baking pan with cooking spray and line with foil, leaving an overhang on both sides.

    Crush the cookies in a food processor. With the processor running, slowly add the melted butter and lemon zest and process until the mixture begins to form a dough.

  3. Pour the cookie mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly. Using a rubber spatula, spoon the ice cream onto the mixture and top with lemon curd. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours to 2 days.
  4. Using foil, remove the ice cream and cream cakes from the pan, cut into portions and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
