She added that if you have half a lemon, you can add in some extra juice for 'more bite.' Then you need to take a 500g pot of custard, and add it a 'bit as a time' to the curd and mix in well. More on recipes The foodie advised that you can also use vanilla pudding if you don't have vanilla custard as it's 'pretty much the same thing.'

She shared: 'At which point you can eat it at a very soft scoop stage, or you can scrape it into a tub, swirl through some more of the lemon curd, and put it back in the freezer to firm up. 'Then you can scoop and eat up all that lovely vitamin C. 'To my mind, combating scurvy has never tasted so good.' People were quick to comment on her video, which has racked up over 30,000 likes.
