Lemon curd - well, you can buy it at the store, but home made is so much better. Some recipes are more involved - this is not. It'll make a small batch, but still plenty. This is so easy I actually whipped it up with the baby on my arm!
Do try it with homemade mini pavlovas (using the same number of egg whites, as it happens), whipped cream and some fresh strawberries. It doesn't get much better than that.
Lemon Curd
(printable recipe)
about 200 ml
4 egg yolks
150 g sugar
100 ml lemon juice (two lemons made just enough)
zest from one lemon
70 g butter, diced
Beat egg yolks and sugar until really fluffy. Add with the lemon juice, lemon zest and butter in a heavy saucepan and heat gently. Whisk all the time. When the cream is almost boiling and thickened, remove from heat and keep whisking until cooled down. A cold waterbath makes this much faster. Place in the fridge before serving, as it will firm up a little bit more that way.

Homemade lemon curd is sooo good and it really is deliciousin combination with whipped cream.
I made a swiss roll cake just this morning with lemon curd, blueberries and whipped cream.
A few weeks ago I made a really tasty panna cotta with lemon curd topping.
I'm a sucker for lemon curd too. I mix it with yogurt and pour it over fresh fruit.
I love lemon curd! I don't like its name though, and I think that's what put me off trying it for so long. I've smartened up though since then.
Lemon curd is so good! I could eat it by the bowl full.
Sounds much better than lemon curd from the shop. I guess lime curd can be made in the same way?
