Homemade Lemon Curd

Homemade lemon curd is great in desserts, on a slice of toast or as a pancake topping! Follow this easy & fast recipe to get creamy, sweet & sour perfection!

Lemon curd is something you don’t normally find in central Europe where I come from. My first interaction with lemon curd was in Ireland and I liked it from the beginning. First I thought it was something like lemon marmalade. Well, after tasting it I quickly realized that this could not be compared to marmalade. It was way tastier than I would have expected. Its creamy texture, citrusy flavor yet pleasantly sweet taste goes well with lots of desserts and is perfect on a slice of toast.

Ingredients:

5 Medium Eggs

100g (3.5 oz) Unsalted Butter

90ml (3fl oz) Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed)

80g (2.8 oz) Caster Sugar

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl whisk the eggs, freshly squeezed lemon juice and sugar until combined.

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Throw in the butter and whisk constantly until it has thickened. This will take about 10 minutes (on low-medium heat).

Cover the surface of the curd with cling film, let it cool down a bit before transferring to the fridge. Once chilled completely, pour/spoon into a glass jar and cover with a lid. Keep in the fridge.
