Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is a traditional Anglo-Saxon cream made with lemon, eggs, butter and sugar. Irresistibly shiny and deep yellow in colour, it’s soft yet full-bodied texture makes it particularly enveloping to the palate. With a fresh, decided flavour, lemon curd is perfect for enriching a wide range of sweet recipes, adding a touch of citrusy freshness and a unique intensity of flavour. It is an ideal topping for puddings, semifreddos, cakes and mousses, and perfect as a base for shortcrust pastry baskets. Moreover, it can be mixed with other creams or fresh soft cheeses, for a perfect balance of flavours. Lemon curd is also excellent for filling cakes and pastries and for enriching baked desserts, such as tarts and leavened cakes.
