EASIEST LEMON Curd (4 Ingredients)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- This easy lemon curd is a luscious and tangy spread with four simple ingredients. It combines the rich creaminess of butter with the bright, zesty flavour of fresh lemons. The result is a smooth, velvety curd perfect for spreading on toast, filling pastries, or adding a burst of citrusy goodness to your favourite desserts.
I first uploaded Lemon Curd more than three years ago. Unfortunately, the music on the video was too loud, so I'm uploading it again.

Hello, hello hello. Great to see you. Supermarket more convenient. Homemade delicious! Thank you. Best, Rik
I've been thinking about doing this myself.

My English Gran came out to Canada in 1920 to marry my Scots grandfather. They met at a hospital in Nottonghamshire where he was recovering from wounds received at Ypres. She was not able to bring much but her Grannie's recipe for lemon curd was one of them. May have been older. The recipe used real loaf sugar although we made do with sugar cubes or granulated . I still have the double boiler she used over a century ago, it still has the big dent from where my great grandfather tried to sneak it off the window sill.
The recipe makes a rich smooth buttery curd and still the nicest version. It can be canned.
Thanks for bringing back the memories as I am the only one left now. Nice to see you make it and enjoy it, Rik.
What an absolute fabulous memory! Thank you for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
Please share the recipe! You can't tell us a lovely story like that without sharing the recipe with us!
@am1156 it's similar to Rik's but I will have a look for her tiny little notebook.
@@Sharon-bo2se That would be great!
Sharon, that's a lovely story. Thank you. It's always nice to read people's tales of their family history😊
"Not messing with seperate yolks, bain maries ..nothing like that" Yes! Yes! Yes! This is why I love your channel so much Chef ..good food, simply made! Thank yuou.
Thank you. Appreciated, lets keep it simple. Best, Rik
Agree, the recipe I have is so fussy and takes ages. Will be using this one from now on.
I drooled a little bit... love my lemons !!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Now that’s how I like my daily dose vitamin C ! On buttery toast! Yum. 🙌🏼.
I have to agree 100% Thank you. Best, Rik
I love lemon curd.my mother used to use up pastry to make little tarts ❤❤❤❤
Ha ha ha - that's tomorrows recipe. Thank you. Best, Rik
You're so right - it takes us back to being a kid 😊 I'm an Aussie in my sixties and this is exactly how my mother taught me to make Lemon Butter (Lemon Curd). We only use two lemons but I might give your three lemons a go. I can recall my first attempt to make it on my own as a teenager - yes, the eggs cooked into lumpy bits 😆. My only gripe is that it always makes so little, but you're right it doesn't last long with the eggs so it's best to have only what you can use while it's fresh. I have never been able to abide store-bought Lemon curd - I was brought up on the real thing and there's no substitute. Thank you for teaching others this wonderful recipe, cheers, Yvette 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Thanks, Yvette. Can't beat homemade. I'm in my 60's too - I love it. Thank you. Best, Rik
Perfect breakfast, homemade bread, butter and lemon curd with a cup of tea. Thanks Rick for a good healthy meal.
Healthy? No way, but super delicious
Thank you. No hidden ingredients in this homemade. Best, Rik
Thats much easier than seen before . Which has always put me off. One of my fave things ever. Never gonna last 10 day😂
No it never will. Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks FANTASTIC!! Thank you for making this look SO EASY!! I’m making this!!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Easy peasy lemon curd squeezie!!! You always make it look so effortless and easy! Plus the advice about not making more than can be used within a few days is wise indeed! Easy and quick! Thank you Rik!!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank goodness 4 a simple recipe for lemon curd! My fave from the British Isles! Thanks so much!
Thank You. Best, Rik
I'm glad to see this way of doing it, as the way I was making it was with a bowl and a pan of boiling water and takes 45mins to 1hour. Great stuff!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Mmm always loved lemon curd This looks so easy And makes just enough 😋😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’ve only had lemon curd once, which I bought from Amazon. I did not know it was so easy to make! Thank you for posting lemon curd.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Absolutely divine. When I lived in the UK, my friend gave me a bottle of lemon curd, and the taste blew me away. The supermarket ones were not so tasty. Now I live in NZ with lots of lemons, and while I’ve been making lemon drizzle cakes for friends and family, there’s only so much cake one can eat. Thanks for a great recipe. I shall now make lemon curd for my family and friends.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh that took me right back to a 7/8 year old, watching my gran make it from scratch, i can still remember how it smelled and tasted, almost 50 years on ❤, thank you for sharing an easy way xx
Thank you. Best, Rik
We have an abundance of lemons on our land and free range chickens... yes this is on the do list🎉
Sounds like a plan. I would love to be your neighbour. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef you would be a great neighbour !!! 💕
Am crazy about Lemon Curd!! 🤤🤪 Thank you!! 😘 Have added your "Mix" to my Library!! 👍🏻
Thank you. Best, Rik
OMG the last time I made it it took forever over a bain marie all that jazz.. will definitely be doing it this way from now on... It lasts 10 days? not in my house ha ha.. great recipe!
Thank you. Not in this house either. Best, Rik
I love this stuff, Have you ever tried adding this to a shortbread cookie crust in mini tart pans. Or, combining whipped whipping cream and lemon curd to a Graham cracker crust.
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Ohhhh! Lemon Curd such a great childhood memory!! Serving of homemade curd on thick homemade bread and butter!!! My nan used to give us this every Sunday morning!!! Had forgotten about this thanks rik x
I love it on bread and butter - its the kid in me. Thank you. Best, Rik
What a lovely simple recipe! Takes all the grind out of making the curd. Many thanks. ❤
My pleasure 😊Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Chef! I love lemon curd. Your food is so amazing and comforting. From Los Angeles. 🌴🌊🌮
Thank you. Its, just, Rik. love to LA. Best, Rik
Lemon my favorite flavor, will add this to my daily oatmeal and zing up my morning.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, another great recipe and so simple! I appreciate the way you keep everything straightforward and simple.🎉
I try. Thank you. Best, Rik
👍 Tx for this no-fuss recipe, Rik!
My Mom used to buy it for a cake/trifle/tart .. can't remember what, but i would get the rest of the jar to polish off with thick whole-wheat toast and slabs of chilled butter. Must be 40 or 50 yrs ago, so I'll definitely give this a try. Thanks again!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I like that method of running the lemon over the grater instead of the other way around, makes a lot of sense and looks much easier.
….and I’m like using whole eggs, also makes sense.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
I just love that you simplify so many recipes and show that a lot of them have unnecessary faffing around.
This using whole eggs, the quick cheese sauce I saw yesterday, the oil and water for cooking sausages.
Loving your work Rik pal 👏🏻👌🏼
Yes❣️
Thank you. Everyone can cook if not too complicated - lets keep it simple. Best, Rik
Thank you. Best, Rik
Supermarket lemon curd is nothing like the real thing. It's so easy to make at home, in fact it's one of the recipes I made with my children when they were quite small. It never lasted ten days because it was eaten in a couple of days it's so good!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love lemon curd. I didn't know how easy it was to make. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
Yes an easy one made this way - its even easy made with a ban Marie to be honest. Thank you. Best, Rik
I make it the old way with a Bain Marie. Not any more this is so Quick and looks just as delicious and is so much quicker. Thanks z Rik you’ve done it again.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just made lemon curd recipe and tried it on fresh blueberries and tried it on a toasted plain bagel. Chef, it is soooooo gooood!! Love it 🥰 Thank you for always sharing and making me smile everyday!
Thank you. Best, Rik
One of my All time favourites, on toast, cream crackers, lemon curd sandwich, banging!!!
Mine too! Thank you. Best, Rik
My lovely late Mum used to make 2 naughty sweet treats - one was a light and crisp honeycomb and the other was LIME curd - both were SO delicious. Sadly, I was too young and stupid to realise the importance of passing recipes along and so I never asked her how she did it and what the ingredients were. Now it's too late! Thank you for sharing your lemon curd recipe Rik (and if you have a honeycomb recipe - I'd be delighted to see that at some point), it looks amazing! Best wishes x
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m going to try your recipe with a couple of limes. I love curd so much I’ve tried not only the usual shop-bought lemon but also lime, orange, pineapple, blackcurrant - and banana!😊
Now i know how easy this is. Im doing it. My strawberry cheesecake was such a success and i know this will be also 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love homemade lemon curd or lemon cheese as my mum calls it ,I use the same ingredients as you Rik but I do mine over a pan of simmering water I find the continuous stirring very relaxing and the smell as it cooks is amazing , your way looks great I may try your method one time as I make it often , thank you 🍋Amanda xx
The usual way is over water. I know it by lemon cheese too! I would stick to your way if you make it all the time. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef well it’s always good to try new methods just in case I’m in a hurry one time 😉
@@amandah4834 Yes there is that. Thank you. Best, Rik
Another excellent video, I have done exactly the same with oranges as well , it works a treat . tks Rik
Nice one! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum yum yummy 😋 home made is the best 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😋😋😋
It really is! Thank you. Best, Rik
Well Rik, I've made your recipe three times already!! I add it to my hot cereal in the morning as well as lemon tarts (graham cracker crust!). So glad you shared this!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I just made this, would have yesterday but my son finished off our butter.. This. Is. The. EASIEST curd recipe I have EVER made, and i have done it few times.. bit extra lemon as I like it puckery.. and so, so easy... just brilliant
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Thank you. Best, Rik
YESSS, Rik, we make this yummy Lemon Curd, then we use it to make those little tarts that we had when we were kids in UK....thanks so much for bringing back those wonderful memories....
Tarts tomorrow! Thank you. Best, Rik
Your awesome be safe out there
Thank you. Best, Rik
Lemon Curd is the best.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I didn't watch this at first... because I don't like lemon or lime anything. (I was the only kid I ever heard of who didn't like lemonade. lol). But curiosity made me come back and watch. Again you seem to have thrilled everyone by super simplifying a recipe for them. Have to give you major creds for that, Chef! You are just brilliant! :) Shirley in NH
Wowzer! Thank you, Shirley and its just Rik - Thank you. Best, Rik
Nice one
Thank you. Best, Rik
I made curd this way in my job as a pastry chef,I used some yolks,and whole eggs.We used it as a filling for lemon tarts,and if someone ordered a lemon occasion cake.The one suggestion I have is to add a little bit of salt to the recipe,salt in desserts is as important as in savory dishes,and I see so few chefs using it.😊
Thanks, Janet I usually do - however i missed filming it so i can only write it in the description. Thank you very much. Best, Rik
I’ve always wondered how this was made. Thank you🤗🐝❤️
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef You’re welcome🤗❤️🐝
I've never had lemon curd, but I sure will now! Thanks Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love lemon curd, as the family’s visitng soon I’m going to make a lemon curd & cream sponge cake - delicious. Thanks for showing how to zest the lemons - must show this to him indoors. After all we don’t want him to take the pith. Such as easy recipe too. I might try mashing the sugar and zest together see if it gives more of that lemony hit
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh I haven’t tasted lemon curd in years Rik, & your recipe looks so incredibly easy, might give it a try. I’d struggle to use this up in 10 days, so might treat myself to a homemade delicious lemon meringue pie or a lemon cheesecake!😋 Thanks 🙏 for sharing as always Rik. 👨🍳👍👌🩷
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Haha just in time, I was going to look for a recipe to use up my lemons
Hope you enjoy. make some - a couple of recipes coming up using it. Thank you. Best, Rik
My mum used to make lemon curd. She gave it away at Christmas in baskets she made for everyone with all homemade items. I love it. I miss her lemon curd. The whole house would smell of lemon and it was heavenly. This reminds me of her curd Rik. It's an amazing prick of our senses, no? Brings back lovely memories. Thank you for sharing your method with us. I'm going to make some this week. It's wonderful with cream cheese too. Such a spark of flavor.
Thank you. Best, Rik
On my way to the store!! This will be made today!!
Thanks again Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I never heard of this. Looks delicious! My brain is already working on how many foods I can top with this: donuts, cake, croissant, pie, mmmm
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum! ❤❤❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Love marmelade this recipe looks delicious and easy.

I can't resist lemon curd, usually from a shop bought jar. But now i feel i can make my own, in small batches. Thanks for your tips.
My pleasure 😊Thank you. Best, Rik
Lemon curd tart! Yummmmmmmmm ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Yes! Thank you. Best, Rik

Looking for things to do with the many lemons and limes on my trees - add making lemon curd to tomorrow’s list of things to do
Good plan! Thank you. Best, Rik
Been making this for years as you say so easy. I'd also like to say I used your party recipe and it was delicious. Bit different from my mums but better.
Great to hear! Thank you. Best, Rik
It's definitely rich in flavour and miles different to shop bought, although I think manufacturers use bottled lemon juice. Mine turned out too runny for my liking, so I added cornflour to it. Great recipe 🍋👍
Thanks for sharing! Thank you. Best, Rik
Lemon curd on hot buttered toast 👍 thanks Rik
And a cuppa. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef oh yes of course 👍
I love your recipes Rik, flavoursome and simple. Home made is the best made. Thanks Rik
Glad you like them! Thank you. Best, Rik
I've made marmalade before, using lemon for its pectin, but never straight lemon curd - I'll try this one! Thanks, Rik!
If you like lemons - this will hook you. Thank you. Best, Rik
LEMON CURD , A MUST HAVE !
Agreed 100% Thank you. Best, Rik
I have to try this recipe 😀😀 it looks yummie 🎉🎉
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Absolutely yum! Is it the same process and the same ingredients for lime curd and orange curd please. I really love the citrus curds and making a small amount at a time saves wastage.
Yes it is the same process. Thank you. Best, Rik
I wonder how well this would freeze? Would it change the texture? I look forward to trying it- great post!
It freezers very well a good stir when defrosted. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🤗👍💯♥️

Thank you. Best, Rik
I had no idea how easy this lemon curd was to make!! PS- I am subscribed, but I have not been getting notifications. Just thought I would mention it.
Thank you. I have reported this weeks ago and still its happening. Sorry about that. Best, Rik
A triumph Rikmeister!👌
Thanks, mate. Hope you got the sun block out. Best, Rik
Rik I can’t thank you enough for this curd recipe. I made some & gave a jar to my local café to try…..I now have a regular order from them to make organic lemon curd, lime curd & orange curd. Will definitely buy you a coffee or three when I get my first months sales payment…..I’m so chuffed lol 😊
I'm so chuffed. You hold on to your profit put it back into some jars or something on me. Well done! I'm really please for you. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef thank you so much, you’re a true gem Rik 👍🏻
Long time ago a lady, Phyllis from Kent in UK showed me how to make lemon curd and lemon meringue pie. She used egg yolks in both recipes.
Never forgot receipe or Phyllis. She was a tall, slim smiling person. Mother of 4 and kind. Not sure if she was Kentish maid or maiden of Kent.
Thanks for memory.
Carry on cooking.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Superb but easy recipe. I remember my late mum would save up to buy sugar cubes, she would then rub them all over the lemons until they turned yellow. How times have changed for the better! It was delicious lemon curd all the same.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Sold me the moment I saw how you got the zest of the lemons. I feel like an idiot now. Separating the eggs has always put me off making lemon curd. Your recipe looks so easy. Thank you very much.
You got this! Thank you. Best, Rik
