Lemon Curd is an easy tangy and creamy recipe that can be used for fillings, slices and cakes.
A couple of weeks ago I posted my recipe fro Lemon Curd Shortbread Crumble and I decided to create separate recipe for the lemon curd in case you want the best tangy and creamy lemon curd for other treats!
The recipe for this lemon curd could not be simpler!
One saucepan and glass bowl with a whisk is all that’s needed.
That and patience!
The key is to take your time. Don’t let the water boil hoping it will speed up the process. Keep it at a simmer or you risk cooking and scrambling the eggs.
Also remember to keep whisking to ensure it all evenly cooks and you don’t end up with lumps.
I hope you enjoy the Lemon Curd and I truly hope you give this recipe a go and remember to rate and report back your results in the comments below. I love reading your comments!
