Lemon Curd
Lemon Curd-this easy lemon curd recipe is sweet, tart, and good on just about everything!
Lemons make me happy! They are so bright and full of sunshine…and when you transform them into luscious lemon curd, even better!
The lemon curd is super easy to make and is great on just about everything…toast, pancakes, French toast, scones, stirred in yogurt, etc. I also love using it to make my favorite Blueberry, Brie, and Lemon Curd Grilled Cheese! You have to try it, it’s all kinds of awesome! Lemon Curd is also great for making desserts, like Lemon Coconut Bars or Coconut Lemon Macaroon Nests. Those are a must for spring! Too cute!
And you know lemon curd is also great eaten by the spoonful. Smooth, sweet, tart, refreshing….the perfect pick me up!
This lemon curd is also great with Meyer Lemons! Meyer Lemons have a sweeter taste and lower acidity,which makes them perfect for lemon-based desserts. I picked up a bunch of Sunkist Meyer Lemons the other day and I can’t wait to make another batch of Lemon Curd!
I hope life gives you lemons so you can make this Lemon Curd ASAP! It is sooooo good! And make sure you come back on Monday, I created an amazing dessert with this lemon curd. You will want the recipe, trust me:) Happy weekend!
Lemon Curd
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
This easy lemon curd recipe is the BEST! It's great on just about everything!
Ingredients:
- 5 large lemons, zested and juiced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest and sugar. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant.
2. Put the lemon zest and sugar mixture, lemon juice, egg yolks, and butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir until combined. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and pour lemon curd into a jar or glass bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the curd so it is airtight. Cool to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator. Again, the curd will thicken up after it is completely cooled.
Note-Lemon curd will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
