I'm actually unsure of who makes lemon
custard ie cream in the san fransisco/sacramento area. Did you try it
at a local store? Perhaps you could ask them where they got it from.

Or have you considered making your own? I found a great recipe on
baking911.com and here it is:

Grandmother's Lemon Custard Ice Cream

Finely grated zest of 3 lemons
½ cup Fresh lemon juice
¾ cup Sugar
2 cups Half-and-half, or substitute 3 parts milk to 1 part cream
4 large Egg yolks
Pinch of salt
2 cups Heavy cream

In a heavy bowl, combine the lemon zest and lemon juice, and stir in
the sugar with a fork. Let it stand for 30 minutes. The sugar helps
release the flavor of the zest. Scald the half-and-half over medium
heat and set aside. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and salt with a
mixer until well blended. Slowly add about half of the scalded
half-and-half and stir gently. Return the mixture to the saucepan.
Cook the custard over medium to low heat stirring constantly until it
is thick enough to cover the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil or it
will curdle. Immediately remove it from the heat and strain the
custard into a large bowl. Stir in the lemon mixture and the heavy
cream.

Lay a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap directly on the surface to
prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and freeze according to
manufacturer's directions. Or you can "still-freeze" this ice cream,
as well; it just will not be as smooth.

When the ice cream is thickened and frozen, cover it and place it in
the freezer until firm. Let it soften slightly in the refrigerator
before serving.

I hope this helps some. Good luck on your quest for lemon custard! ../forum/images/emoticons/wink.gif

There's an ice cream place in Santa Cruz called Marianne's that usually has lemon custard ice cream. I also know Bruster's ice cream makes it, but they are an east coast only franchise.
