Lemon Curd. Holy smokes, lemon curd. This one came outta left field and totally surprised me at how amazing it tastes. I can’t get over it. Plus, no crazy long ingredient list and no 27 step process. One saucepan, 5 ingredients. My life is changed.
I have no idea why I even thought to attempt to make lemon curd, but it seemed like something fun to try. I found the recipe over at Taste Of Home and it did not disappoint.
Lemon curd seems fancy to me and I usually try to avoid fancy things. I would not use the word fancy to describe myself. But guess what? I’m fancy now because I made some lemon curd. And now I need to put it on toast, cookies, pastries, a spoon, all of it. Perfect amount of tart to sweet, silky consistency. I’m just SO excited about this stuff. I want to bottle it and give it away.
If you are feeling like you want to be fancy with minimal effort, then you should probably give this recipe a try. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Lemon Curd
Perfect amount of tart to sweet, silky consistency. I’m just SO excited about this stuff. I want to bottle it and give it away.
Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan over low to medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar and lemon juice until blended.
2. Add butter and lemon zest and continue to whisk until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer to a separate bowl, cool for 10 minutes then cover and refrigerate.
**Use real lemons rather than bottled lemon juice, the flavor is so much better**

Hi! This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make some! I want to use it for your lemon curd pound cake recipe, so I was wondering how much this recipe makes? Since the pound cake calls for 1/2 of curd. ?
I meant to say 1/2 cup of curd. ??♀️ The baby was squirming in my arms. ?
I know how that baby squirm goes! ? The lemon curd makes a good amount, about a cup or a little more. So you will have some leftover after the pound cake. (Which you will want to eat with a spoon ?) Let me know how they turn out! ?
