Lemon curd is a preserve, a dessert spread & a filling made with lemon juice, eggs, butter & sugar. And it’s delicious spread on hot, buttered toast or folded or layered into a dessert. And it’s easy to make…

Some recipes you’ve seen might instruct you to cook lemon curd over a double boiler: a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. You don’t have to do that. A saucepan, low heat & constant stirring is all it takes to make this buttery, tangy spread.

And while lemon curd is readily available in most stores, homemade lemon curd surpasses any store-bought variety. It’s served cold so is best made a day or two ahead of serving it or using it in a dessert recipe such as: Lemon Curd Cheesecake Bars, Lemon Curd Cream Pastries or Lemon Curd Coconut Cake. In all honesty – we just love it on toast.

Cheers, Lovoni
