Easy Lemon Curd

Lemons really are amazing. Such a delicious and versatile fruit that can be used in so very many ways. I love that it lends itself equally to sweet things and savoury dishes of all varieties. It’s a rare day that I don’t have a couple of lemons lurking in my fruit bowl. One of my favourite things to make when I have a surplus of lemons is make a batch of this easy lemon curd. It’s simple and easy to make and can be used so many ways.

Swirl it through cream on top of a pavlova or spread it on toast. Use it as a filling in the middle of a sponge cake or fill ready made tart shells for a quick and easy dessert. It’s delicious with Greek yoghurt and fresh berries – the perfect summer dessert! Just having some in my fridge makes me smile as I know I can use it in so many ways. And the recipe is virtually fool proof!

This recipe below is adapted from the curd recipe I discovered in a Matt Moran pavlova recipe a few years ago. I’ve made it quite a few times since and have tweaked the recipe slightly but it never fails to disappoint. And it keeps so well in the fridge for those days when you need a quick and easy sweet treat. My Easy Lemon Curd Tartlets are the perfect example of how it can come in handy!
