DIRECTIONS
- Whisk eggs, sugar, & vanilla in a medium bowl until pale and thick, about 4 minutes.

- Whisking constantly, gradually add half of juice mixture to the egg mixture, then whisk the egg mixture into the remaining juice mixture in the saucepan.
- Reduce heat to medium-low & cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until bubbles subside & mixture is thick enough to coat the spoon, about 3 minutes.
- Take off the heat, whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time, incorporating completely before adding more.
- Transfer curd to a medium bowl & press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
- Chill until cold, at least 3 hours.
To serve, spoon ice cream into bowls or clear glasses. Top with the curd, then the whipped cream. Drizzle with olive oil & sprinkle with salt.
