What is Lemon Curd?
Lemon lovers, this is your jam !
Lemon curd is a very rich dessert topping or spread. You can add it on your fav yogurt, muesli, use it to make a Lemon Meringue Tart or even eat from the spoon.
It’s buttery and sweet with intense tart lemon flavour– like a creamy lemon version of jam. Lemon curd is made from simple ingredients and comes together quickly on the stove.
