Receta Lemon Dessert with Lemon Curd
I love to use lemon in most of my baking, cooking and that's the reason why I posted 2 recipes using lemons here and here to participate in this month's Little Thumbs Up Event. Today is my 3rd post, Lemon Dessert with Lemon Curd. This recipe is adapted from the famous Swedish blog Linneas Pantry. I was searching for an easy lemon dessert the other day and I was attracted to Linneas's beautiful Lemon Dessert. Please take a look at her beautiful post. The recipe is quite easy to follow but you need to stir the lemon mixture until almost thickened in a double boiler which took me longer time to get to the right texture. In fact, my lemon curd is not very thick but it's smooth and yummy and I simply can't resist licking the residue from the spoon ... hahaa. I'm sure nobody can resist not having a cup of this smooth and tangy Lemon Curd Dessert especially in our hot weather... gosh it hasn't rained for almost 30 days! Really hope I can have more desserts everyday to beat the heat.
