Lemon curd is a delightful and versatile citrus preserve that can be used in various desserts, as a spread, or as a topping. Using the Thermomix, a multifunctional kitchen appliance, makes preparing lemon curd both efficient and nearly foolproof. This recipe combines the zing of fresh lemon juice and zest with the richness of butter and the sweetness of sugar, creating a harmonious balance that's sure to please any palate.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to use.
- Wash the lemons thoroughly if you are zesting fresh lemons.
- Zest the lemons to get 2 tablespoons (30g) of lemon zest. Make sure to avoid the white pith, as it can be bitter.
- Add the lemon zest to the Thermomix bowl.
- Add the lemon juice (600g), butter (70g), and sugar (100g) into the Thermomix bowl with the lemon zest.
- Mix the ingredients for 2 minutes on speed 2 at 50°C. This will help to combine the butter, sugar, lemon juice, and zest smoothly.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the 2 eggs (100g). Gradually add the beaten eggs to the Thermomix bowl while the machine is running at speed 2 to prevent them from cooking too quickly.
- Continue to mix for another 1 minute on speed 2 at 50°C to ensure the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Increase the temperature to 80°C and cook the mixture for 20 minutes on speed 2. This will cook the eggs gently and thicken the curd.
- Check the consistency of the lemon curd; it should be smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it’s not thick enough, you can cook it for a few more minutes.
- Once the lemon curd has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a sterilized jar or container while it’s still hot.
- Allow it to cool to room temperature. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled, seal the jar or container tightly. Store the lemon curd in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 1-2 weeks.
- Enjoy your homemade lemon curd on toast, scones, in tarts, or as a filling for cakes and pastries.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before starting to help it blend smoothly.
- For a thicker curd, you can add an additional egg yolk.
- Strain the lemon juice to remove any seeds or pulp for a smoother consistency.
- Store the lemon curd in a sterilized jar and keep it refrigerated; it will last for up to two weeks.
- If you prefer a tarter lemon curd, you can reduce the sugar slightly according to your taste.
Making lemon curd with the Thermomix is a simple and quick process that yields a perfectly smooth and luscious result every time. Whether you’re planning to use it as a filling for tarts, a spread for scones, or a zesty addition to your morning yogurt, this lemon curd recipe is bound to become a staple in your kitchen.
