Steps:

• Mix the heavy cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt in a medium pot over the stove. Warm over medium-high heat until you see bubbles on the surface, approximately 9 minutes. Whisk occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as you see it boil.
• Whisk the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Steadily and slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
• Return to the pot and warm on the stove for 3-5 minutes until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. This means, you can run your finger through the liquid and when it won't fill back in where you drew a line with your finger.
• Stir in the lemon juice. I highly recommend blending in a high speed blender for the most luscious texture and flavor. Cool the mixture in the fridge or use an ice bath to save time.

• First, make the custard. Simmer half-and-half and cream in a saucepan. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk yolks until light in color. Add sugar. Whisk together. Whisk warm cream into egg mix slowly. Put into a heavy saucepan. Heat and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. DO NOT simmer or boil the egg and cream mixture, as it will scramble. Cool to room temperature. Add vanilla extract. Refrigerate for about 5 hours.
• Next, make the lemon curd. Put butter, sugar, lemon zest, 2 1/2 cups lemon juice, and salt into a double boiler. Heat until melted and the sugar is dissolved.
• Meanwhile, whisk eggs. Slowly pour hot mixture from step 3 into eggs while whisking. Place the egg mixture back on the double boiler, whisking continuously. DO NOT simmer or boil. Cook until thickened.
• Strain the curd and cool completely to room temperature.
• Finally, assemble the ice cream. Run refrigerated custard mixture through an ice cream maker until it reaches soft serve consistency. Fold in the cooled lemon curd (which should be about 3 1/2 cups) and the 3 ounces of reserved lemon juice. Cover and freeze until very firm.
