I cannot even describe right now, how delicious this curd is. At first I was like this is not gonna taste good but I tried it, and it is the the best curd I ever tasted in my whole life. Thank u so much for sharing this recipe. I love it!

[@mwikali4057]

Laura Gao always worried it would taste eggy. does it?😣

[@sweetanzu2231]

Laura Gao Lemon is a strong flavour. So I guess not. 🍋🥚

[@vidyo1022]

Why did you try it then?

[@nicoleacres1618]

I literally just made lemon curd for the filling of a wedding cake this weekend... but yours looks so much easier. Not to mention glossier. Can't wait to try it!

[@emmasgoodies]

+Nicole Acres Ohh wedding cake that's awesome! Thank you Nicole! ❤❤

[@PunkFlamingos]

I used this as a filling for my Lemon birthday cake (also your recipe) and ooo girl it was fire! Thank you for your amazing and easy recipes.

[@toytrojon1873]

Made this to fill macaroons along with a lemon buttercream filling and OMG it was so good

[@N145PM]

Just tried your recipe for the first time and it is perfection ! I actually doubled the recipe. ..So much easier than the recipe I used before .. no candy thermometer needed (i hate those things!). Next time I may try it with limes. Just discovered your channel recently and you rock! Love your recipes and style .. I've learned so much from you already!

[@trailersg829]

Hi can I know what butter you use

[@accept8988]

I'll try this one right now since Im always making Lemon pie, my favorite. This one looks so good and the fact it's made with whole eggs makes it better as it will last longer than a few days unlike the ones only made with yolks. At least that's what a baker told me once.

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Oh yass i love lemon curd, I usually eat it from the jar with a spoon lol. Yours looks so good and perfect texture 😍

[@emmasgoodies]

+In The Kitchen With Jonny Ahaha ikr? I couldn't stop lol! Thank you babe! 😘

[@idkwho1195]

Made lemon curd without the cornstarch and it's alr thick enough, awesome! Thanks 😘

[@trailersg829]

Hi can I check with you in order for the lemon curd to be thick did you place it in the fridge or js left it and it will thicken

[@didinab1133]

I just made it and it is divine. Smooth and delicious. Thanks for the great recipe. I Will keep it for ever. I also tried the cinnamon rolls and they were perfect. Thank you Emma for sharing these great recipes. I Will subscribe right now. From Algeria

[@damned_1]

Omg, i was searching for lemon curd empanadas and this popped up!!! Yay! I am wondering if you can someday do a video/recipe for lemon empeñadas, I can’t find any bakery who makes them anymore, since I was a kid. I would love to make my own bc they are so deliciosos! 😋💓🙏🏽

[@murielrodriguez8047]

I appreciate making recipes easy to follow and read 🍰 it was the best lemon 🍋 curd 😮♥️

[@jobgabm4333]

[@ShawnPlusOne]

[@allanafavarahanke1318]

I have known this recipe but I really like your way of doing this.♥️

[@emmasgoodies]

+Allana Favara Hanke Thank you dear Allana! ❤

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

You should film yourself doing your kitchen experiments! I want to see scientist Emma! What other fruits would this work for? Besides lime...

[@emmasgoodies]

+F.B. Jeffers0n That's a really nice idea! Any citrus fruit! Orange, lime, lemon, clementine, grapefruit..😘

[@ChezVies]

Thank you so much for the recipe! Finally I found the lemon curd that I am looking for. 😍😍

[@djtblizzle]

Yummy!! My love for your recipes grows every week!! 😍😍😍

[@emmasgoodies]

+djtblizzle Well this makes me smile! Thank you 😍❤

[@totalemotionalfreedom]

I can't believe you have this recipe!! I've been looking for one - I want to make your Christmas cookie box cookies (the vanilla ones) and fill them with lemon curd!! I hope that works!! Also, I plan to make orange curd... I hope I can just replace the lemons with oranges!! I will let you know how it all turns out!!

[@maivihenry6295]

I made it and it taste so good 😋

[@kala7278]

Looks delicious! 💕

[@rhondahauser6443]

Absolutely FABULOUS

[@CandiceMing]

[@carmen77garcia]

Omg I just did your lemon curd and let me say is the best one out there😍

[@bibilui]

Definately gonna try this emma! Thanks for the tutorial

[@josefreeda9689]

Tried this lemon curd. It came out delicious. Thank you Emma. P.S : Your videos and your outfits matching your goodies are lovely.

[@saterdraj6768]

Hi, I made this. It is delicious. Now I will make the tart tomorrow. I have only a 9 inch tart pan though. I am not sure if the curd I made would be enough. Can anyone help please.

[@schasyah6390]

I appreciate that u provided the measurement in cups too . Surely gonna try this recipe later 😉

[@lammylion4096]

thanks Emma, for the video. love your video very much. bring me so much inspiration 😄

[@emmasgoodies]

+Lammy Lion Glad you liked the video love!❤

[@lammylion4096]

Emma's Goodies 😄

[@zzzaturnah]

I made this and loving it! Wondering if I can use the same procedure as I intend to do a citrus curd, mixing lemon, lime and oranges?

[@georgantonischki1188]

sorry, but I have one question. visiting the South of England we bought rose flavored curd and I would like to ask if your recipe would also work with that? I can buy rose flavored sirup and substitute the lemon juice but I fear this would not be acidic enough? Any idea, I want to surprise someone special...

[@norashuda5652]

Whoa - I plan to make ! Thanks for sharing

[@juancruzcastiglione5991]

That looks great! I'm surely gonna be doing this. Awesome video as always Emma. Still waiting on those waffles😉

[@emmasgoodies]

+Juan Cruz Castiglione Thank you Juan! I've got those on my list of things to make 😃💕

[@juancruzcastiglione5991]

Emma's Goodies Cool don't feel rushed

[@joellloyd2064]

Okay but why did this turn out so perfectly on my first try 😭 and it tastes so good! Normally I'm not a fan of citrus based desserts and I'm making this for my partner, but i just might end up eating more slices of the lemon tart than him!

[@zizoboyheaven7779]

hmmm so lemony ... yam yam

[@greggruenewald8747]

I've gotta try that recipe.

[@emmasgoodies]

+Omega Prime Yess! 😃

[@delicicaharton6089]

[@foolishyish]

I just made another recipe's lemon curd and it looks like I messed it up. Emma has come through yet again. Will be trying this

[@shaban5986]

Hi Emma... This was the best curd... I request you to make tutorial on tart shells...can u pls....pate sable pate sucree....I have done few but not really satisfying....

[@cleftheart]

Is the lemon curd similar to pastry cream only instead of milk, you use lemon?

[@emmasgoodies]

No, it's very different flavorwise. It's a tangy cream. However the process is similar yes:)

[@cleftheart]

Thanks Emma! 😍

[@sgfreak37]

Been looking for a good lemon curd to put in the middle of a cake. This one is really good, and the cornstarch does make it better for filling cakes. First time I made it, I didn't have any.

[@trailersg829]

Hi may I check is the lemon curd jar-ING inside the cupcake and what butter did you use

[@sanachoudhary]

You are a star Emma 😘love you,can I use this Curd for your lemon cake instead of butter cream frosting?

[@biancabriggs5969]

This looks amazing! I'm planning on making some mini tarts, I can't decide which would be better for the crust, sugar cookie dough or regular or crust, what do you think?! 😄

[@nilghi]

I just tried this recipe out and it worked out exactly like in your video ! Thanks a lot for sharing

[@remarkable99]

Wow! That came out beautifully! Just perfect, really - the texture is exactly right for my taste.

+Ruthie 😘❤😘

[@匚尺卄]

in the 1st 10 secs it sounded like your southern, britsh, and from New jersey all at once EVER

[@littlegirl-lc8lh]

I did this recipe it was delicious. I made it with passionfruit, because I did not have many lemons at home. I also added only one tablespoon of corn starch because it was my first time doing it. I only added a small piece of butter, because I did not have much butter at home. I added the same amount of passionfruit as she asks for the lemon. I may be strained but I find the taste better if some of the seeds are left.

[@princessvl7121]

Hi emma 🙋‍♀️ can you please make a video on how to make Limoncello 🍋 thank you and more power!

[@headspaceaudio7745]

Your lemon curd is the sexiest one by far

[@tiya1708]

[@thefriesenkitchen4474]

[@all1001races]

Looks amazing Emma almost 50k I told u it would come lol 😉💖

[@emmasgoodies]

[@ifynweke4953]

Do you blind bake your tart crust? Also why type of crust do you use for your tarts and can we please get a video?

[@emmasgoodies]

+Spiffy Ify I do! I sometimes use shortcrust pastry and other times I use an italian pastry dough called "pasta frolla". And of course I will make a video ❤

So close to 50k. .. can't wait to see you hit 1M subs!! 😘😘💕💕💕💕

[@emmasgoodies]

+Shikha Mallick Yesss so close! And so amazing!! 😍❤❤ Thank you Shikha!

[@cakescupcakes6703]

Made the lemon curd it taste to acid does it supposed to be like that

[@emmasgoodies]

Lemon curd is supposed to be tangy. If you want it sweeter just add more sugar, but it will still be tangy because of the lemon juice! That's how it's supposed to be.

[@ogeoge7187]

Hi Emma, I love your videos and you cakes are my favourite to make right now, can I make almond cake with the lemon curd topping, I'm wondering if they go together?

[@trailersg829]

What butter is used?

[@pauldoyle1864]

I love this recipe but am wondering would it be possible to replace the lemons for oranges ? Would the recipe have to be adjusted in other areas I wonder given that the oranges are not as strong as lemons, any advice would be very gratefully received, Thanks

[@parteeshacustnea7398]

Hi Emma love ur recipes... just wanted to know if this is thick enough to use as cake filling?

[@justanordinaryday936]

Yes, it is. I've made a coconut cake and used this as a filling.I piped a ring of coconut butter cream to keep the filling in just as insurance. Give it a go.

[@omoladeladetoluhiyahoocom]

Thanks Emma for sharing, pls how long can this stay in the fridge?

[@ella85ful]

Just made this , OMG , you were right I could not stop eating it. Delicious !!!!!!!!!!🙌🏼

[@emmasgoodies]

+Kelly Midmore Hi Kelly! Yes I'll be showing you how to make a lemon tart 😃 It's quite simple to use and it's very versatile when it comes to tarts/pies! It holds up for about a week. But you can freeze it 😘

[@jarryfernandes5354]

[@emmasgoodies]

That sounds delicious!! I will have to see!

[@moonlightdreamerwolf272]

How much of each

[@lisaguichard2553]

oh my - this came out so beautifully but I think I added too much lemon juice or not enough sugar - perfect texture but too tart - is there anyway to fix this once it has set?

[@emmasgoodies]

Hi Lisa! Your lemons may have been really sour. You can fix that by just adding a bit more sugar. Reheat the cream so it loosens up again and add more sugar.😘

[@nirmaleekariyawasam2189]

Hey.... Can we use lime instead of lemon?

[@sandhyamenon4827]

Emma, you're a genius! This recipe is SO simple and delicious! Heavenly! I just made my second batch 🥰

[@darga33]

Hey your videos are awesome! I have watched like 50 videos so far and am loving every single one! I just finished watching this one. I’m curious did you wear a yellow shirt on purpose to tie in with the yellow lemon curd because if so that was a really nice touch!

[@carlosfox7148]

You finally got it down!!!! :) Thank you for sharing your perfection with us. Looks delicious! 💞

[@emmasgoodies]

[@adrianaflores714]

I need 1 cup of lemon curd for a recipe. Do you think this recipe will make enough or should I double it?

[@laurynmaeanasco1527]

I never tasted lemon curd before....Is it sweet? or is it Sour? And also,, I'm want to put a filling on my coconut cake and I don't know what to put.

[@saraht963]

Hi Emma, is it ok to pair up the lemon curd with a layer of strawberry jam in a vanilla cake.

[@emmasgoodies]

That would be fantastic! Go for it❤

[@saraht963]
