Tips:

Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for lemon curd squares.
Don't overcook the lemon curd. Overcooked lemon curd will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Let the lemon curd cool completely before assembling the squares. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Use a sharp knife to cut the squares. A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts.
Serve the squares chilled or at room temperature. Lemon curd squares are delicious either way.
