Easy Lemon Curd image

This is a very easy to make lemon curd, I use this on top of cheesecakes or use as a filling between layer cakes. Plan ahead, the curd needs to chill for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 1 week.

Time 2h6m

Yield 1 1/2 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
  • Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
  • Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
  • Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.
