I realize this is an older video, but I wanted to say to anyone looking for the perfect lemon curd recipe that you can stop right here. Just made this - following Jemma's recipe and instructions to the letter, weighing my ingredients on a kitchen scale. It is absolutely fantastic. Not too sweet, not too tart, just buttery, lemony goodness. I'm from the USA, so I used superfine sugar I found at the grocery (we don't have caster sugar here) in the exact proportions, and it worked great. The recipe makes slightly less than two cups total. I plan on serving the lemon curd with crepes, whipped cream, and powdered sugar to my luncheon guests tomorrow. (That is if it makes it to the table.) It is that good! Thanks, Jemma, for a wonderful recipe. I will be making this again for sure. Delicious!

I've done this recipe 4 times already during quarantine. It's amazing!

[TheGoreyStory]

I just made this, my god it is amazing. So light and fluffy, a gorgeous pale yellow colour. I didn't need to strain mine but i was whipping a lot so thats probable why. Thank you so much!!! I can't wait until it has set.

5 years later and this is still my go to recipe. I dislike the shiny type of lemon curd because this creamy one beats all the other recipes I have tried. I just made a double batch :D My husband was kind enough to help me clean the whisk once I was done making the curd and even offered to help clean the bowl :P

I used this recipe today. Mixed it with cream for a filling for my pavlova roll with fresh berries. Also drizzled some neat on top. So delicious!
Thanks Jemma. An oldie but a goodie.

[passionable]

I am the only person on the planet that has never heard of Lemon Curd ... but watching your video and how easy it is to make, I'm going to try it. I have all the ingredients, including the lemons so there is no stopping me. I have an easy recipe for making scones or muffins as we call them in the USA and I bet they would go deliciously on them. AM I suddenly, slowly turning British? I hope so, I love so many of their foods. Thanks!

I can't believe I have been watching your videos for over 6 years! Still love them and they are a go to all of the time because I have short term memory loss. And sadly I don't live in your country and can't eat your cupcakes personally. Closest I get is following your recipes l. THANK YOU! 🌻😊

This stuff is amazing!  I have made it three times and it has become one of my favorite desserts.  I mix mine with some vanilla yogurt and blackberries and feel like a tiny cooking goddess.  Thank you for sharing!

[assassintwinat]

So much more vibrant in color than store-bought. Wow.

[bluecurlygirl]

Aw sweet god! I just made this. It's divine! Lemon hit followed by a beautiful sweetness and a lovely butteriness amongst it all. Never tasted anything like it. Thanks a million Gemma.

[yidazhou]

Wow Jemma, I tried this just a few hours ago, and it is exactly what you said it was. Zingy, buttery, sweet, sour and an all round delicious. Absolutely in love with this, and I might just finish gobbling down a load of toast with this piled on. Thanks so much!

[oyunas]

Jemma, Your recipe is perfect. i followed it exactly step by step as you show on the film and mine turned out without any clumps and bits, smooth and velvety! Anyway, as per your suggestion I poured it through the sif and vola! By the way, I didn't use the zest simply because my lemons were not organic. Even though, I loved my lemon curd. So light, fluffy, velvety and yammi! Thank you, Jemma!

[rickyjay]

Hey Jemma, I love how you explain and make things people can get inspired by watching you! I have to admit, this recipe is the easiest what i have ever saw. Lenon curd is a good thing to have in a fridge....from a spread or a base for a cream....I respect you!

[gracepare]

I first watched this recipe a couple years ago, and finally got around to making it. It is absolutely delicious! My measurements were off because I was using imperial measurements, so it ended up too tart, but I added some powdered sugar and whisked it in, and it was great.
