Tips:

  • To zest a lemon, use a Microplane zester or a fine grater. Avoid grating the white pith, as it can make the lemon curd bitter.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by simmering water in a saucepan and placing a heatproof bowl over the top. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Stir the lemon curd constantly while it is cooking. This will prevent the eggs from curdling and will help the lemon curd to thicken.
  • To test if the lemon curd is done, insert a spoon into the curd. If the curd coats the back of the spoon and leaves a clean line when you run your finger through it, it is ready.
  • Lemon curd can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Lemon curd is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts, such as pies, tarts, cakes, and cookies. It can also be used as a spread for toast or scones. With its bright flavor and creamy texture, lemon curd is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
