I love lemon curd!! Instead of throwing that pulp away, freeze it in ice cube trays and use the frozen blocks to freshen your garbage disposal!

Thank you SO MUCH! Iove making things from scratch because we can control with quality and characteristics of the ingredients, like organic sugar and our home grown meyer lemons. I love lemon curd!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I have my mum to thank for that. We grew up eating food made from scratch. Well, most of it. We had store bought treats too, but 80% of the time, it was food freshly made for us. I suppose we just carried on with it when we had our own families.

Very simple

It is sooooo easy to make. Go ahead and give it a go. Here's the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-lemon-curd-meyer/

[@sanskritijain5248]

Chef this looks awesome but I wonder why you didn't cover it on the surface with cling wrap like we do with pastry cream?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It's enough that the cling wrap is securely placed on top of the bowl, to prevent air from getting in. That way, the curd doesn't form a skin. Hope this helps.

[@sanskritijain5248]

@@biggerbolderbaking ok thanks chef

[@mscatservices12]

You had me at the whole lemon part❤❤

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Using the whole lemon makes it so easy to prepare!

[@HeroinePrincessSwiftie310]

Mmmmm looks good

[@lynngough-e4k]

Worked very well but the pith made the curd very bitter. I would recommend that thick pith should be removed before chopping.

[@c2bienaime]

Hey Gemma can you add cornflour to make it a thicker lemon curd?

[@nopalciny8476]

😊😮 WOW beautiful ❤️

[@CCoburn3]

Meyer lemons don’t make it to the stores around here. But I’m sure the recipe will work with regular lemons.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

It will, but other varieties will not be as sweet as Meyer lemons. You may need to remove a significant amount of rind with those varieties.

[@CCoburn3]

@@biggerbolderbaking Thanks for the information.

[@irinyss826]

Can you put it through a high speed blender?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I suppose you can, but a food processor really yields the best result in this kind of recipe.

[@lovealwaysmom]

This recipe along with many of your other recipes are in my CopyMeThat account. Instead of "Red Robin ... Yum" it's "BIGGERBOLDERBAKING ... YUMMMMM" 😊😊😊

[@manueladias7771]

Wow 😋😋

[@nonne7018]

Just curious, won’t the lemon peel make it bitter?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Meyer Lemons provide a sweet, citrusy taste with less acidity than regular lemons and no bitterness. They almost have a creamy flavor which makes it great for this recipe. The peel and pith contain pectin, which helps thicken the curd. Hope this helps. Check the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-lemon-curd-meyer/

[@valeriesultan1435]

And it less hassle than normal curd super

[@ravens6286]

Can this be done w/limes & oranges? If so, do you have any recommendations? Ty ahead of time (either way). I really appreciate your videos! ♥️

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, you can make this with other fruits, from citrus to berries. Just replace the fruit and proceed with the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-lemon-curd-meyer/ I can't recommend measurements since I have not tried the combination you mentioned. But several bakers have, and so far have had very good results. I also have a recipe for raspberry curd www.biggerbolderbaking.com/raspberry-curd-recipe/ Hope this helps.

[@ravens6286]

​@@biggerbolderbakingi appreciate ty. I didn't mean limes & oranges together...that sounds ...awful 🤣. But I make a lemon cake where i have used store bought lemon curd & homemade whipped cream (minus the sugar & vanilla), & fold the curd into the whipped cream. I use that as the "frosting?". People who have eaten it, rave about it. Anyhoo, I like the summery taste the curd gives & I have never seen a lime curd or orange curd. I was hoping to make them myself & then make a corresponding cake to go w/the whipped topping/curd mix. I don't know if I should add the peels (minus the pith though) or which types would be best. I was thinking blood orange & maybe key limes.

[@ursula.m8265]

Does it have a strong egg smell?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

For me, it doesn't. But scent and flavor would be subjective, so it really depends on how sensitive you are to the flavor and smell of eggs. Note that people tend to be more sensitive to flavors and scents they don't like. Hope this helps.

[@DebSturt]

How long will this keep?

[@michellewilliams9675]

How could the recipe be adapted to turn it into the microwave lemon curd recipe you have on your website?

[@cooper1095]

I wonder how u could make lime curd. I think that would also be really tasty.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. You can make curd using limes, but perhaps using just the pulp and some of the peel.

[@cooper1095]

​@@biggerbolderbakingsounds good

[@11kwright]

I wonder if date sugar would work for sweetness ?! Just that I never use sugar full stop due to health problems that I’m trying to heal.😊

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I haven't tried it but I think it is technically possible. It is highly likely that the flavor profile will be different.

[@leanertina129]

Can this be done with lime and other fruit?? Thank you 💜xx

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, absolutely. You may need to experiment though. I specifically used Meyer lemons as it provides a sweet, citrusy taste with less acidity than regular lemons and no bitterness. They almost have a creamy flavor which makes it great for this recipe. Pectin: The peel and pith contain pectin, which helps thicken the curd.

[@leanertina129]

@biggerbolderbaking I'm in the UK so I don't have that brand of lemon available to me. I was thinking of making a lime curd...? X

[@mikejanson1939]

Could u use any lemons though?

[@illmitz1]

yes you can, just use the juice only, rind will make it bitter

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can, but other varieties may not be as sweet as Meyer lemon. You can remove some of the rind for optimal results. Here's the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/whole-lemon-curd-meyer/ Hope this helps.

[@valeriesultan1435]

Would this eventually set enough for a pie filling or its texture it’s more like a sauce😊

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can make more to make it a pie filling. If making a smaller one, then yes. Check the measurements in the recipe, for guidance. Hope this helps.

[@valeriesultan1435]

Will it be thicker enough

[@valeriesultan1435]

So it does set good to be a pie filling

[@jennglow4647]

😋

[@vaishalishah9913]

can we make lemon curd without eggs?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, you can. I have a recipe for vegan lemon curd, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/vegan-lemon-curd-recipe/ Since my Vegan Lemon Curd is not thickened with eggs, you use a combination of cornstarch, coconut oil, and almond milk. All of these ingredients combine and react with the heat of the pan to make for a super thick and rich curd. You only need a small amount of cornstarch to create the perfect texture, just 3 tablespoons of cornstarch thicken a big batch and help to keep this recipe free of animal products.

meyer lemons less bitter or less sour? the rind has bitterness, the juice is sour
