Was a hit here too with almost everyone. I did have a sort of concentrated thin clear/yellowish hard layer between the strawberry and lemon layers, I assume I didn't mix the lemon layer well enough so it didn't freeze correctly. Has this happened to anyone and how to remedy this???

Is it possible that it defrosted somewhat and then refroze? That could cause that hard layer.

what is meant by blend the ingredients? In the food processor?

I got this recipe from someone else, and it is almost identical except the strawberry part is whipped. I made it last night and just tasted it- its delicious and so pretty! I never tried it without whipping the strawberries, so I can't compare. I'm sure the other way is delicious too, but for anyone that's interested, here's the directions for making it the whipped way (this way the strawberry and lemon have same consistency).

The lemon part is exactly the same, except it calls for 8oz whip, which is easier since that's how they come.

For the strawberry- ingredients are the same also, except again, use 8oz whip instead of 10oz. Here are the instructions for the strawberry part-
Defrost the strawberries and beat them well with the whisk attachment in your mixer. (they basically fall apart except for a few pieces, and it becomes kinda creamy/whipped). Add sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and eggs. Beat for 10 minutes. It becomes pale pink and ice cream like. Then add the whip and beat another 10 minutes.

I had more strawberry than lemon, so I made 2 loaves of strawberry/lemon and then froze the leftover strawberry in a container to serve as regular ice cream in scoops.

Also, for anyone who's interested, I used egg beaters instead of real eggs.

--
I just want to clarify that a 10oz whip is the same thing as an 8oz whip. for some unknown reason, all cookbooks and recipes used to call the smallest size 10oz, although the larger one is exactly half and was called 16oz. to confuse things even further it is written on the box of whip that it is 420something ML and its hard to convert that to OZ as the former is a liquid measure. nowadays recipes describe it as an 8oz whip, but the bottom line is that it is all the same thing, ie. use 1whole small whip and don't bother measuring its weight.

Is there a substitute for the eggs? I'm a bit paranoid about having raw eggs in foods.

You can use egg beaters, from the freezer section.

est, so if I have a sixteen oz whip I would use half the container even though it calls for ten ounces?

so sorry I only saw this today...

the answer is yes, use half the 16oz or 1small whip - don't measure out 10oz.

thanks! I totally forgot that I asked that question. It was theoretical since I had already made it. But good to know for the future.

I cut it into squares. No need to leave it out for 20 min. before. It's easy to cut. And the top part, which is creamier, would be too soft if you did.

I am bringing up this post because someone may want to make it for Yom Tov. Also I was reading about Bubbies Wicked Layered Ice Cream but I just love this one.

I've had it in a crust of some sort, I don't remember now whether it was a baked flaky or crumb, but it couldn't hurt (well, not much)
