lemon curd recipe

This sweet and zesty lemon curd is foolproof and amazing in everything from roll cakes to whipped cream.

Lemon Curd

sugar (200 grams)

tbsp lemon zest (zest of two lemons)

lemon juice (minus one tablespoon, 100 milliliters)

butter (unsalted, cold)

Separate the yolks from the whites. You can freeze the egg whites for later or make a Swiss meringue buttercream with them!

Zest the lemons. If you have a food processor handy I like to pulse the lemon zest and sugar together to really extract all the oils from them but this step is not a must.

Juice the lemons until you have about half a cup of lemon juice. Don&#x27;t forget to strain out the seeds.

Strain egg yolks into a pot and beat lightly with a wire whisk. Whisk in the sugar and give it a good mix until lighter in color. Stir in lemon juice gradually.

Heat on low, while stirring constantly with a wire whisk until mixture thickens, just starts to bubble and coats back of wooden spoon.

Remove pot from heat, then add the cold, cubed butter and mix until melted.

This is optional but I like to strain the final mixture to remove any bits of zest, etc. The final curd will be SILKY SMOOTH and amazing.

Transfer the curd to a sealable container or bowl. If string in a bowl make sure to cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

This easy homemade lemon curd needs only four ingredients and has all the tangy, sweet, bright and delicious flavor you could ever ask for! It's perfect in cakes, cupcakes, on scones, toast, mixed into whipped cream, and straight from the spoon!

Lemon Curd Recipe

lemon juice² ((120 milliliters))

sugar ((150 grams))

unsalted butter

Tablespoons lemon zest³

Combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk until well-combined. Transfer to stovetop over low/medium-low heat and add butter and lemon zest.

Cook, stirring constantly (do not let the curd boil) until thickened and it coats the back of a spoon (see video below for visual).&nbsp;I also like to use an instant read thermometer to check that the curd reaches 160F (to ensure eggs are cooked all the way through).

Ingredients

6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice¹ 120ml
3/4 cup granulated sugar 150g
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter cut into 8 pieces (113g)
2 Tablespoons lemon zest²
 
Instructions
Combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk until well-combined. Transfer to stovetop over low/medium-low heat and add butter and lemon zest.
Cook stirring constantly (do not let the mixture boil) until thickened and mixture reaches 160F (to make sure eggs are cooked all the way through).
Remove from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a container.
Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the lemon curd to avoid a skin forming. Allow to cool to room temperature for 20-30 minutes then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for several hours then use as desired.

Notes
¹This took 3 whole lemons for me
²Zest the lemon before squeezing, it's much easier that way than trying to zest an empty lemon skin. Be sure to avoid the bitter white pith when zesting (don't grate all the way down to the actual lemon!)
How to Store
This homemade Lemon Curd will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

These Lemon Meringue Cupcakes are made with a light lemon cake, lemon curd filling and lightly toasted meringue frosting! It's like Lemon Meringue Pie in cupcake form!

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes

(163 grams) all purpose flour

(207 grams) sugar

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

(120 milliliters) milk

(60 milliliters) vegetable oil

tsp vanilla extract

lemon

(120 milliliters) water

tbsp (90 milliliters) fresh lemon juice

tbsp finely grated lemon zest

(104 grams) sugar

tbsp (56 grams) unsalted butter

tsp cream of tarter

Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
2

. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a large mixer bowl and combine. Set aside.

. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon zest and egg to a medium sized bowl and combine.

. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat until well combined.

. Slowly add the water to the batter and mix on low speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined.

. Fill the cupcake liners about half way and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

. To make the lemon curd, combine all the ingredients in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water). Heat while whisking constantly until mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees, or coats the back of a spoon.

. Pour the lemon curd into a small bowl and cover with clear wrap pressed against the top of the curd to prevent a film from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool and firm, 3-4 hours.

0. When you are ready to build the cupcakes, make the meringue frosting. To make the meringue, combine the sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla extract and egg whites in a large mixer bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan or pot of simmering water. You can also use a double boiler.

1. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and egg whites are warm, to 160 degrees on a thermometer, about 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Using the whisk attachment, beat the egg white mixture on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. To put the cupcakes together, use a cupcake corer (or a knife) to cut a hole in the center of the cupcakes.

4. Fill the center of the cupcake with lemon curd.

5. Frost the cupcakes with the meringue frosting. I use Ateco tip 808.

6. Finish off the cupcakes with a slice of lemon, if you like, then toast lightly with a kitchen torch.

7. Refrigerate cupcakes until ready to serve.

Making your own Lemon Curd is actually quite simple! This easy, homemade recipe is bursting with tangy citrus flavor.

lemon zest (up to 4 lemons)

lemon juice (up to 4 lemons)

unsalted butter (cold)

Get all your ingredients measured and ready before beginning. Slice butter into 1 Tablespoon chunks, and keep in refrigerator until ready to use. Zest and juice your lemons. You'll need 1/4 cup zest, and 1/3 cup juice. Depending on the size of your lemons, this can be anywhere from 2-4 lemons needed.

In a small sauce pan with a double boiler, heat one inch of water to boiling. In double boiler (or a metal bowl to go over the saucepan of water) whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.

Measure out 1/3 cup lemon juice (discard any remaining juice or save for another use) and add juice and 1/4 cup lemon zest to sugar mixture. Continue whisking over heat for about 8-9 minutes. It will begin to thicken slightly.

Remove from heat. Add butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until melted and smooth. Once all butter has been added pour into a bowl, covered, and refrigerated until thickened and cooled. Mine took about 2 hours to chill. Store for up to two weeks in refrigerator. ENJOY.

Here’s a complete guide on how to make lemon. A fail-proof recipe for best bright, creamy, tart lemon curd. You’ll be surprised to learn how easy it is to make homemade lemon curd that uses only 5 basic pantry ingredients!

📋How To Make Lemon Curd

granulated sugar (adjust quantity

Add egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and zest, and salt to a sauce pan. Cook on lowest heat on stove with constant stirring. Cooking low and slow is the key to making lemon curd and don’t stop stirring.Pro-tip: You shouldn’t see any bubbles while cooking lemon curd. Reduce heat to lowest! If you are having trouble with the temperature, it’s the stove. Better use double boiler to make lemon curd. It will take longer time to cook, but will result in silky smooth curd.

While the curd in coming together add chilled(cubed) butter. Continue to stir and cook on low flame. Use cooking thermometer to check the temperature of the curd. When curd reaches 167°F, eggs are fully cooked and it’s safe to eat.

Alternatively to check for the doneness of curd is to check when curd thickens if it is thick enough to coat the back of your spoon. This indicates the doneness of curd.

Remove sauce pan from stove.

Pour thickened lemon curd into a fine mesh strainer to strain and remove the zest and any scrambled bits of eggs from the curd. Strain into a heat proof bowl or jar.

Keep lemon curd covered with plastic cling wrap to avoid skin formation on top of the curd. Allow curd to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before you can use it in any recipe or simply transfer it to serving jars to be refrigerated for later use.
