LEMON CURD<\/p><\/div>\n

Ever since I discovered this easy lemon curd recipe<\/strong>, that creamy, zesty lemon spread<\/strong> of Anglo-Saxon origin, I\u2019ve been hooked! Quick and easy to make, it brings a fresh, tangy touch to all kinds of desserts. Whether used as a filling for cakes, cupcakes, or layer cakes, or simply spread on pancakes, waffles, or brioche, lemon curd is a must-have in any baker\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n

Not only is it simple to prepare, this recipe is also incredibly versatile. I use this easy lemon curd to garnish cakes, cupcakes, and tarts, as an insert in entremets, or simply as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or a slice of homemade brioche. Its bright flavor and melt-in-the-mouth texture always add that special something that makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

I used it as an insert in a Trianon<\/a>, and it was a real hit! Its acidity perfectly balanced the richness of the chocolate.<\/p>\n

Lemon curd is similar to the cream used in french lemon tarts (tarte au citron), but with less butter. Its preparation is close to that of pastry cream, except it uses fresh lemon juice instead of milk, and no cornstarch as a thickener. Once you\u2019ve tried it, it\u2019s hard to stop!<\/p>\n

You can also make it with other fruits, like raspberry curd<\/a> or an egg-free apricot curd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few tips to make this easy lemon curd recipe a success<\/h2>\n

1. personally, I prefer using less butter than in the traditional recipe. The result is a lemon cream that\u2019s still velvety and creamy, but lighter and just as delicious!<\/p>\n

2. If you’re making lemon curd for a tart filling, you can add up to three times more butter, incorporated off the heat. This creates a richer, melt-in-the-mouth texture, perfect for this type of dessert.<\/p>\n

For better structure and cleaner slices, you can thicken the curd with 10 to 15 g of cornstarch or about 3 g of gelatin, depending on the recipe you\u2019re following.<\/p>\n
