------------------------------

INGREDIENTS

- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (approximately one lemon)
- 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional for thicker curd)
- 2 tablespoons butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all ingredients except the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix until well combined. Alternatively, a hand mixer can be used or the mixture can be mixed by hand.

Pour into small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir constantly so mixture heats evenly and does not clump. The mixture will thicken.

When it coats the back of a spoon and is about the thickness of pudding, remove from heat and immediately strain to remove any clumps or bits of cooked egg.

Stir in butter.

Place plastic wrap directly on curd surface to prevent skin from forming.

Chill and use.

NOTES

Keeps 1-2 weeks refrigerated or up to 3 months in the freezer. If frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator to use.

Never made lemon curd, but it's very much like making homemade pudding, isn't it? I watch YouTube all the time (no TV), and you're my favorite channel. I learn so much, and you make it fun. You and your sweet Mom making butterhorns was so cute. I'm sure she's very proud of you!

Great video! Thank you! I'm definitely going to make this...very soon! I made a strawberry curd a few years ago to put in the center of a cake I made for my daughter in laws baby shower. It came out so good... better than the one I bought from a bakery a couple of months before! I know this lemon curd will go great in the center of a cake!!
