Steps:

• Allow ice cream or sherbet soften slightly.
• Scoop into 9-inch pan line with saran wrap, smooth the surface, cover and freeze for 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease and flour bottom only of 2 9-inch pans.
• Blend cake mix with egg whites, water and lemon extract.
• Beat according to instructions on the box.
• Pour into the 2 pans, dividing evenly.
• Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean: the top should "spring" back, when lightly touched in the center.
• Cool 10 minutes in pan, then invert onto wire rack.
• Cool completely.
• Trim tops of the 2 cakes even, also trim off all crust (sides and bottom) completely, to have white cake only (makes for a more elegant presentation).
• Remove ice-cream round from freezer and let sit for a few moments, to make the surface soft.
• Mix food color into Cool Whip at this time, if you choose to.
• Put 1 cake round on large plate, add the frozen ice-cream round and top with second cake layer.
• Push down lightly for the ice-cream to adhere better to the cake rounds.
• Cover the cake with Cool Whip, making swirls with a spatula.
• Sprinkle with lemon strips.
• Return to the freezer until ready to serve depending on the setting of your freezer.

LEMON ICE BOX CAKE

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft. Add the cream, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla and beat until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Spread the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1/2 cup of the whipped cream. Arrange half of the cookies on top of the cream, fitting in as many as possible without overlapping. Spoon half of the remaining cream mixture on top and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. In spoonfuls spaced every 2 inches, dollop half of the lemon curd onto the cream and then use a butter knife to swirl the curd into the cream. Top with another layer of cookies, followed by the remaining cream. Dollop with the remaining lemon curd and swirl into the cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the cookies have softened, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• Garnish each serving with lemon zest when ready to eat.

LEMON ICE CREAM SANDWICHES WITH BLUEBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• Make lemon ice cream:
• Transfer ice cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30 percent power in 10-second intervals, stirring, until softened, about 50 seconds total (see cooks' note, below).
• Stir in lemon zest and juice. Spread ice cream thinly in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish and freeze while making compote and sandwich layers.
• Make blueberry compote:
• Cook blueberries, sugar, and zest in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly crushing blueberries with a potato masher, until juices are released and sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Stir together lemon juice and cornstarch, then stir into blueberry mixture. Boil, stirring, 1 minute (mixture will thicken).
• Transfer blueberry compote to a bowl and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Discard lemon zest.
• Make sandwich layers while compote chills:
• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking pans and line with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each side, then butter foil.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat together butter and brown sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until just combined.
• Divide batter between baking pans and spread into thin, even layers with offset spatula. Bake until golden-brown but still tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pans, about 30 minutes.
• Assemble sandwiches:
• Dollop tablespoons of blueberry compote all over ice cream, then swirl it gently through ice cream with a spoon. Spoon all of ice cream over 1 sandwich layer (in pan) and spread evenly using clean offset spatula. Invert second sandwich layer over ice cream, pressing gently to form an even sandwich. Wrap baking pan in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Transfer sandwich to a cutting board using overhang. Trim edges if desired, then cut into 8 pieces.

SUPER LEMON ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine heavy cream, half and half, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover saucepan and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
• Uncover pan and bring back to a simmer over low heat. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually stir one cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs, several tablespoons at a time. This will help to bring the eggs up to temperature without scrambling them. Stir the egg mixture back into the cream mixture in the saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture just coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover. Refrigerate overnight.
• Stir the lemon juice into the cold ice cream mixture. Freeze in a 4 to 5 quart ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer ice cream to a lidded freezer container, and freeze for 4 hours to ripen flavors before serving.

LEMON SWIRL CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For Crust:.
• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Finely grind graham crackers( if using these instead of the crumbs) in food processor. Add nuts and process until coarsely chopped.
• Add butter and lemon peel; blend just until crumbs are moist.
• Press crumbs firmly onto bottom ONLY of a 9 inch diameter springform pan.
• Bake until crust is set, about 10 minutes.
• Cool crust and maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:.
• Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, lemonade concentrate and lemon peel in large bowl until smooth. Beat in 3/4 cup sour cream.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined.
• Pour filling into crust and bake until the center moves only slightly when pan is shaken, about 50 minutes.
• Transfer cake to rack and cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile for topping: Whisk 1 cup sour cream in small bowl until smooth. Whisk lemon curd in small bowl until smooth.
• Run a sharp knife around sides of cake.
• Starting at outside edge of cake, spoon small alternating dollops of sour cream and lemon curd side by side in concentric circles atop warm cake, covering cake completely.
• Gently shake pan to smooth out toppings.
• Using tip of knife, gently swirl toppings, forming a marbled design.
• Chill cake uncovered overnight.
• Beat whipping cream with 2 T. confectioner's sugar( I like to add about 1/2 t. unflavored gelatin to the whipping cream to keep it from separating)until stiff peaks form.
• Pipe cream in a decorative pattern around the edge of cake( I just use a spoon to arrange dollops of whipped cream around the edge) and garnish with lemon wedges and mint leaves.
• *NOTE: The last time I made this I omited the sour cream topping and just smoothed the lemon curd over the entire cake top, using about 2 cups of lemon curd. Then I decorated the edge of the cake with the whipped cream and lemon slices/mint leaves.).
