Sweet. Tart. Lemony. Deliciousness. So, so yummy. Perfect in a dessert or just on it's own.
Lemon curd is not the prettiest of names. Curd. Blah. Fortunately, despite the name, lemon curd is still delicious.
I made this lemon curd to go in a cake I made. I'll post the recipe for the cake later. Lemon curd is good with a lot of things. Cake. Scones. Ice cream. Muffins. Or just dip your spoon in and enjoy the lemony happiness that is lemon curd.
1 cup sugar
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 eggs
4 egg yokes
1/4 cup butter
Combine sugar, zest and juice in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together eggs. Whisk eggs into sugar mixture. Heat on medium low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. It will probably take about 8 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add butter a little at a time, stirring in between additions. Push mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to two weeks.
