Number Of Ingredients 5

1 recipe - 6 eggs, beaten
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly grated lemon zest

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it always turns out perfect. So versatile too - I've used it as a filling for cakes and tarts, and also as a spread on toast. Highly recommend!

Really good! I added a bit of extra lemon zest for a more intense flavor. Great on toast.

Easy to make and delicious! I love that it's not too sweet. I used it on scones and it was perfect.

This lemon curd is absolutely divine! The perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a velvety smooth texture. I used it to fill a lemon meringue pie and it was a huge hit. Will definitely be making this again and again!
