The Realtors Easy Lemon Curd Lemon Filling Food

EASY LEMON CURD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs.
• Add the butter and cook over low heat, stirring continuously with a whisk, until the first bubble appears on the surface of the mixture and the curd is thick enough to hold marks of the whisk, about 6-8 minutes.
• Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh strainer if you don't want the lemon zest in the curd. Transfer the hot lemon curd to a bowl or jar and cover the surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cold, then take off the plastic wrap and replace with a lid.
• The curd keeps fresh in the refrigerator for about 1 week.

EASY LEMON CURD

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
• Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
• Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
• Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.

EASY LEMON CURD FILLING

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until smooth.
• Pour the egg mixture into a medium sauce pan and whisk in the lemon juice and zest until combined.
• Heat over medium-low heat while whisking constantly. In about 5-6 minutes (time may vary, see notes below), you will feel the mixture begin to thicken. Quickly whisk in the cornstarch and continue to mix until your lemon curd is very thick.
• Turn the heat down to low and whisk in the butter, 1 Tbsp at a time until it's all melted and combined. You should have a nice thick, smooth lemon curd!
• Strain the lemon curd through a mesh strainer to get rid of any lumps and leftover zest. Pour into a heat-proof air-tight container such as a mason jar. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes with the lid off, then cover and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled and set.
• Use as a cake filling, mixed into buttercream frosting, on top of scones or pancakes, or layered in a parfait!

THE REALTOR'S EASY LEMON CURD (LEMON FILLING)

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a heavy bottom sauce pan. I shake the water and cornstarch together in a jar first and then add them to the pan to avoid lumps.
• Bring to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Chill or cool before using.

LEMON CURD CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Tip the biscuits into a food processor and blitz to fine crumbs, or crush in a large bowl with the end of a rolling pin. Tip into a bowl and mix with the melted butter, then divide between four coupe or dessert glasses, pressing the biscuit mixture into the base of the glasses slightly. Chill for 10 mins.
• Spoon about 25g lemon curd over each of the chilled biscuit bases. Mix the remaining lemon curd with the double cream and soft cheese, whisking until smooth. Divide the lemon filling evenly between the glasses, then chill for at least 1 hr or overnight.
• For the topping, beat the cream with the icing sugar using an electric whisk until it's a pipeable consistency. Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag and pipe a swirl of cream over each cheesecake (or spoon a dollop over each if you don't have a piping bag). Decorate each cheesecake with a slice of lemon before serving. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
