Lemon curd is a deliciously tangy and sweet spread that's perfect for filling cakes, spreading on scones, or even as a topping for yogurt. With its vibrant lemon flavor and smooth, creamy texture, it's sure to be a hit at any gathering. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. The zest and juice from fresh lemons will add a bright and zesty kick to your curd.
- Stir constantly while cooking to prevent the eggs from curdling and to ensure a smooth texture.
- Once your curd has thickened, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bits of cooked egg or zest for an extra-smooth finish.
- Store your lemon curd in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
- Be patient and cook the curd over medium-low heat to avoid any risk of burning or overcooking.
Lemon curd is an incredibly versatile and delightful treat that can elevate many desserts and breakfast items. By following this straightforward recipe, you can make your own homemade lemon curd that is fresher and more delicious than any store-bought version. Enjoy your homemade treat!
