Lemon curd
Curd is an English cream based on fruit juice. It is prepared from egg yolks, butter, sugar and juice instead of milk. If it is a lemon curd, then we take lemon juice and zest accordingly to give it even more flavor. You can use orange, lime, grapefruit or berry juice.
Corn starch is added to the curd for a thicker consistency.
The most common in desserts is lemon curd. It adds a light acidity and thus balances the taste of the dish.
Ingredients
- Juice and zest of two large lemons
- 4 egg yolks
- 80 gr sugar
- 50 gr butter
- 1 tsp corn starch
