lemon curd

a wonderfull recipe for an easy lemon curd- just do not leave the stove while you make this. I use it for my easy lemon curd cake or for a layered cake/ trifli. It is always a hit and you make 2 portions with this recipe- so easy.

Everyone will also claim that lemon curd is difficult and you need to sepaarte this or that. If you stick to this recipe precisely- and as said – warm it up slowly and whisk- do not leave that pot. Then it will work.

Step 1

Combine lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs in a small saucepan. Whisk until well combined.
