    Lemon Curd Recipe

    Jump to recipe

    LemonCurd

    This makes the most beautiful thick and tangy curd. I just love the richness of the colour too.   Perfect in pastry cases or even just by the spoonful!  :)

    I tweaked this recipe to be made in the Thermomix using my Passionfruit Curd recipe.

    Try it on waffles too next time you have them.

      I love this receipe but have found that the egg must have cooked as it is not a smooth texturw. Has anyone else had this issue? What am i doing wrong? Thank you Rachael

      I wanted it extra tangy so doubled the lemon juice. It’s absolutely delicious!

      Love the taste of this recipe, mine was a bit runny though, I doubled the recipe and cooked for 10 mins, should I have cooked for longer or will it thicken in the fridge?

        Hi Rhiannon, my sincere apologies for delay but I've been moving interstate! It would have thickened in the fridge. I trust it was enjoyed! :)

      I just wanted to say thank you for this recipe - and especially for listing the lemon juice in grams. So many lemon curd recipes say the juice of X lemons, which varies so much! I tried your recipe tonight - perfect. Thank you.

      Half a block of cream cheese and a dash of extra lemon juice added and blended at the end of cooking makes a great spread to layer between cakes or pancakes.

      How many mls would this recipe approximately make? I'm trying to figure out if I can fill 2 small jars full for xmas hampers. I think they are about 200ml each jar

      Thank you Leonie as I now have a tried and true lemon Curd recipe that all testers said was AMAZING! I adapted it for my food lifestyle using xylitol and added zest from one lemon!
      It makes it seem like one did fuss, but lemon curd in 10 minutes! BONUS!

      This is so delicious and extremely easy to make!!
      I doubled the recipe and thinking of using it in a Lemon Meringue Pie.
      If i keep the curd in the fridge, how long should it last (expiry I mean) that's of course if there's any left by then as I can eat it by the spoonful.

        Do you increase the cooking time if you double the batch or is the 10mins sufficient? Thanks :)

      I'm considering making this for my dad for xmas because he loves Lemon Curd, but I am doing some travelling for a couple of weeks before hand. How long will this keep in the fridge? Will it be ok for a couple of weeks before I can get it to my dad?

      I have attempted lemon curd a couple of times pre Thermie and each time has been a disaster. I just made this and it was so easy and so yummy. I don't think it will even make it to a jar. I can't stop eating it! Thanks you for another great recipe Leonie.

      I made this for my friend and not all fitted in the jar I bought so a little left over for me yum. I put it on my porridge with yogurt ha-ha it was nice. Now I'm thinking of making tarts with it. I'll probably make my own shortcrust pastry for the bases but I'm not sure how many to make or what size to make them, I also don't really have little tart tins do you think I could make them in a muffin tin? Or am I better off just doing one big tart? Thanks for an help.

        I think it may be a case of trial and error Jenny! I'd give the muffin tins a whirl! :)
