Lemon curd is such a delicious treat! It is silky and rich, and tastes like sunshine. I’m always surprised when I make it at how easily and quickly it is ready. You’d think something as indulgent and luxurious as lemon curd would be really finicky and temperamental, and require lots of steps and special tools. But it is ridiculously simple! And ridiculously tasty! And just…special. That’s a lot to live up to, right?!
Possibly the best thing of all about lemon curd is how many delightful treats it can be paired with! It can be spread atop a sweet crust to make lemon bars, tucked into buttery cookies, sandwiched between the layers of a tall and luscious cake, covering a creamy cheesecake…the list of delicacies is truly endless. But why are you still reading? You should be out whipping up a batch of lemon curd!
I love the little jar you put your curd in, and the sweet spoon. Can you share where you found them? Thanks! Elaine
Hi Elaine! The jar came from West Elm, where you can buy them individually. They are available in sets of 12 (I think) other places, but I only needed 1. And the little yellow-handled spoon is something you’ll have to stay tuned to hear about! 😉
Thank you. I will do some research..
Melissa! I just found your blog and was so excited to see here! I sent a link to my sister, who loves to cook, knowing she’d be just as thrilled to have a new read. I’m looking forward to trying out your recipes and having a little bit of you in our home.
Julie!!! I’m so glad you found me! I sent you guys a Christmas card, but then Chaz told me you had moved to a new house. Hopefully you got it!
I made this and it is amazing! I am wondering the shelf life on it though? If it is kept refrigerated how long would you estimate I have before it spoils? thanks!!
Hi Amanda. We always eat ours within a few days, but I would think that it would last longer as long as it was refrigerated and tightly covered. Maybe a week or more?
Was in a rush (as usual) & needed a quick & EASY recipe for Lemon Curd, found yours and …. “WOW” sooo delicious and absolutely perfect !! Thanks for the recipe I definitely recommend it for everyone ❤️
