Yield Makes 2 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, strained
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in butter, piece by piece. Add lemon zest, and let cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
  • When you need the filling, chill a metal bowl and whisk in the freezer, then use to whip together cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold cream mixture into lemon curd; chill in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before using.
