Americans Try Lime Curd and Lemon Cheese Tartlets

[@dizzielizzie9989]

Love both! a little Lemon curd stirred through or drizzled over plain Greek yogurt with raspberries or berries/ mango with coconut yogurt( no bits) & lime curd..delicious. Love the videos.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Thanks Dizzielizzie! That sounds like a great way to enjoy yogurt.

[@kutluol75]

Best way to have lemon or any curd is on buttered toast, my favourite breakfast 😊 or homemade muffins filled inside with lemon curd 😉

[@FinnLovesFood]

We definitely need to try it on toast. The muffins sound good too!

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

It always makes me happy when I see new videos from you two x

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Lesley! Thank you for the kind and thoughtful compliment, we always look forward to receiving and responding to comments :) Hoping you're having a happy Friday and a great weekend :)

[@amandaneal1556]

I love them both. I did find here in Northumberland a few months ago a Rhurbarb curd in a farm shop. That was amazing. I have made Lemon curd many times its very easy to make. You should try making your own x

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Amanda, I remember my aunt making lemon curd using the lemons from my nana's lemon tree. Great way to use up excess lemons!

[@johnrainford9708]

Anyone on here remember lemon meringue pie at school in the 70s? Pretty sure that was just lemon curd on a pastry base topped with meringue. Ah man. Heaven. 🤣👍

[@FinnLovesFood]

We have lemon meringue pie here too though never had it at school. Do you also have lemon bars?

[@johnrainford9708]

@@FinnLovesFood not familiar Tina ?

[@FinnLovesFood]

@@johnrainford9708 they're shortbread crust with lemon curd filling topped with powdered (icing) sugar. They're cut into square bars.

[@johnrainford9708]

@@FinnLovesFood pretty sure we have very similar Tina, there are short crust sandwich biscuits/cookies with like raspberry or other filling layered on top of cream. Now we are talking .. oh yehmmm. 😛🤣👍

Used to have lemon cheese on toast when I was a kid, not had it for years, I've never tried lime curd but might try some on my buttered toast, have a lovely weekend.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Michael, if you like the lemon cheese I bet you would like the lime curd too. Hope you're doing well and having a good weekend.

[@lesleyfarrington4809]

Those looked lovely

[@andrewfitzgerald2327]

A few recipes apart from the original tart a victoria sponge with a butter cream and added lemon curd/cheese top the cake with icing sugar to add sweetness. If you have an ice-cream maker add either, with a little lemon zest to enjoy a fresh lemon ice-cream. The small tarts you constructed with the raspberries. You could pipe some Italian meringue on to the top, then either place under the grill or salamander until golden brown, or if you have a blowtorch brown some of the meringue. My mother and grandmother always insisted on lemon cheese to this day l don't know why.😮

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Andrew, Happy Friday! Thank you, love the ideas you provided and we'll give them a try. You just gave us a reason to purchase a blowtorch! :) Hope you have a great weekend :)

[@margaretnicol3423]

Try half filling a large tart case with the lemon curd, pipe meringue on top and bake until the meringue is cooked.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Margaret, Happy Friday! Thank you, sounds good, we'll give that a try. Looking forward to trying it, thanks for providing the tip :) Have a great weekend :)

Ooooh Lemon Curd butties are the best! 1970s Childhood staple ... 🤣. Good to see you guys... Looking good Tina and Ross. Best... J

[@johnhankinson1929]

i remember them well , not had a lemon curd butty since my mam died in 1973

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi John, how have you been? We had no idea that lemon curd butties were even a thing?

[@johnhankinson1929]

@@FinnLovesFood Yes it's similar to a jam butty , have you ever had Jam butties ? , bloomin' hell they were a staple when i was a kid and being 1 of 8 kids it was a cheep and wholesome way of filling our bellies , my mam could work wonders with her housekeeping

[@johnrainford9708]

@@johnhankinson1929 👍 Gales Lemon curd was the best of the bunch back in our day John, slapped on a piece of white bread. Not sure if you can still buy it buddy?

[@johnrainford9708]

@@FinnLovesFood Hey Tina. Sure thing just slap it on a single piece of white bread and enjoy. ☺️

[@agranda6379]

What a lovely, easy dessert! Lemon curd is delicious. I don't think I've had lime curd, but am sure I'd love it. Orange curd is great too, but I'm not sure how available it is here. I think that the terms curd and cheese can be used interchangeably. Hope you enjoy the boozy advocaat curd. 😉.Sounds lovely! Don't forget to butter your toast before you spread the curd on it! You can't have too much butter!! 😅 Have a fab weekend.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Agranda, Happy Friday! Loved trying lemon curd, we'll try it over buttered toast tomorrow for breakfast. The orange curd sounds, and found a recipe for it here - www.bakingmad.com/recipes/orange-curd (4 ingredients and 4 steps) Looking forward to the boozy advocaat curd :D Hope you have a great weekend and Happy Friday! :)

[@agranda6379]

​@@FinnLovesFoodooh thanks so much for the recipe link. That sounds straightforward enough even for me with my limited culinary skills!! Take care and have a fab weekend! 😊

[@RonSeymour1]

I have not had lemon curd for years and will have to make a point of buying a jar.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Ron, hope you enjoy it!

[@johnhankinson1929]

I've always found it to be called Lemon curd here in Lancashire where I live

[@UKCougar]

Hello from East Lancashire. (-: Lemon curd/cheese is interchangeable, different names for the same thing.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi John, we were wondering if the names were regional since the ingredients looked the same.

[@johnhankinson1929]

@@FinnLovesFood Lemon curd usually is more lemony coloured than lemon cheese which looks cheesily coloured , if that makes any sense , take care

[@johnhankinson1929]

@@UKCougar yes it is , as a young kid in the early 60's my mam would put it on Jacob's cream crackers and we'd have them for a snack in the afternoon

[@sarahgardner7353]

I bet they would be nice with some melted dark chocolate on top ❤

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Sarah, that sounds very good!

[@paulcullen814]

I was thinking the little lemon cheese tarts, pipe a meringue top with a star nozzle, then use a chef's blowtorch to just brown the meringue. Mini lemon meringue pies. Here in the UK we have the National Trust, who look after stately homes and places of national importance. In their shops at the properties they used to sell jars of coffee curd. It was delicious, but they don't sell it any more. I am so disappointed.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Paul, coffee curd sounds interesting. Richard also sent us a jar of chocolate cherry curd and it was delicious on ice cream.

[@paulcullen814]

@@FinnLovesFood I have found a recipe for coffee curd, so I may have a go at making it sometime. The chocolate cherry curd sounds good. May be quite nice spread in the middle of a chocolate cake with whipped cream, like a black forest gateau type cake.
