I love a bit of lemon curd swirled with authentic Greek yoghurt and sometimes some chopped fruit, and a light breakfast or a snack. The sweetness and brightness pairs really well with the tanginess and creaminess of the yoghurt. I know not everyone likes Greek yoghurt but if you do, I recommend it :)

I made a triple batch of your lemon curd. I did not strain the zest. Wonderfully tart and good by itself on a spoon. I had this idea to make a lemon curd cheesecake. Using lemon wafers (similar to vanilla wafers) for the crust, I topped with my favorite creamy cheese cake batter and swirled in tablespoons of the curd. Incredible taste. The lemon wafer crust is subtle and complemented by the creamy cheese cake and tart curd. I am now on the third lemon curd cheesecake. One I took to work, one for my daughters birthday and one for my wife and I to enjoy. Still have lemon curd left over. Thanks. Enjoy the videos, bloopers, and energy you bring when preparing your favorite dishes.

Thank you for this recipe! Lemon curd brings forth dear memories of my departed mom; an English lady and survivour of two world wars. Mom was not a *star* in the kitchen, bringing to mind much of Britain's notorious cooking of yesteryear! But she excelled in a few things, one of which was her homemade lemon curd. I still recall memories of the taste of her curd. It was excellent. Us kids would rejoice in her allowing us to put it on toast and buttered bread. In fact, I still have the original index card of her recipe, although I've only made it once. Maybe going to make this for xmas presents for my neighbours this year! Thanks again!

[@xfallenxlostx3254]

I made this using 3/4 cup of a sugar alternative and it came out so well! Very smooth and sweetly tart. Next time I might reduce the sweetener next time because it was a little sweeter than what I would prefer, but it might have been too tart for a lot of people.

[@ronsandahl274]

My favorite use of lemon curd if for a type of French lemon tart (for which I can't find the recipe). It is a classic French tart crust with almond, then a layer of lemon curd, followed by an overlapped layer of paper-thin whole lemon slices - peel, pith and all (seeds removed). This gets briefly baked before getting topped with a mountainous meringue and baked again. It is absolutely heavenly.

[@ShirleensCorner]

ok, i know this video is more than 1 year old, but i literally just got done making this recipe and it is AMAZING!

Just here to say this is the lemon curd of the 3 recipes that I've tried that set so well I could hold the jar upside down and it didn't budge, no cornstarch added or needed (saw a recipe that said to add cornstarch if you want it to set better but I didn't add any in this one).

Ellite Equine my son’s chickens lay eggs like this. He says it’s their diet - they’re free range, eat lots of greens and bugs!

I always wanted a good lemon curd recipe, and this is perfect. And thankfully, I have a Meyer lemon tree. Meyer lemons are so fragrant and juicy.

I heard it’s tradition in Greek homes, the dining table should have a bowl of lemons for good luck. And it must be 9 lemons.

[@ramonaearnest4709]

When I went to Greece in 2013 my son and daughter-in-law got married there....we had lemon at every meal everywhere we went...they squeeze it on their food before eating... yummy! 🍋 🇬🇷

[@mariavlachou4650]

I am Greek and yeah, 90% of the times there will be lemons on the table, but I've never heard of them being there for good luck, or that they should be 9. I did google it though and 9 lemons for good luck is a thing, but it's a feng shui thing, not Greek. I hope you're doing well, stay healthy and positive!

[@tirkdiamond]

Not really good luck. We just like the taste.

Feng shui thing has nothing to do with lemons 😂😂😂

[@mariavlachou4650]

@@barblee9615 Ok, I said that based on a 2 minute google search, feng shui comes up when you type 9 lemons good luck, but, I don't know.

I like using lemon curd for tiny tarts with strawberries and mint as garnish

Sounds amazing

Sir, thank you very much for this recipe. I made it a lot of times but this recipe is one of the best ever! I use lemon and orange curd or sometimes combo of these two (even tangerine curd) literally in everything. In home made ice cream or I just add a bit with regular vanilla ice cream, filling or toppings for the cakes/cheesecakes, filling for pancakes (crepes). Sometimes I put it between the layers of cake as a spread, then I add some other cream/frosting on it. Since I don't like classic USA/UK big cakes with lot of fat layers of "sponge" and very thin layer of frosting between, this curd is heaven for lighter versions with more creamy layer cakes. And since I don't mind the zest in it and less silky texture, in the end I usually add a bit more of it. I have my own lemons, oranges and mandarins so I just love to put extra zest. 😉
