This is best & easiest lemon curd recipe. EVER. I had lost the link to this video and sooooo glad to have found it again among the gazillions of lemon curd recipes online.
Just made this and it came out great! It is very forgiving. I even mixed everything by hand using only a spatula and a fork to combine the butter and sugar and it still came out perfectly!
You're so concise and think of everything when you explain things! With everyone else, I find there's always at least one question that pops up and is left unanswered.
Never made lemon curd before in my life. I made your version today for a fancy afternoon tea, and it was better than any I've had in a tea house. What a splendid recipe. Thank you! It was the hit of the tea party.
Very good recipe, thanks. Just an advice: Think that youtube has no borders, so you might wanna put measures in Kilos and Liters when cooking. Very few countries cook in cups and table spoons. You'll probably have more followers if you do this.
Where are you based Blaise? I'm in New Zealand and we're all equally at home cooking by weight (kilos, grams, liters) and by volume (cups, spoons, etc)
Yes I agree with you! Is even better and easier when you have measures in gr or lt especially for people like me new to cooking and baking. So this is really good point! Thank you that you mention it
Perfect technique to avoid curdling of eggs. I've used this recipe so many times already and it always comes out smooth and scrambled egg free and so easy to make. I thought this deserves a positive feedback afrer so long. Many thanks.
I tried couple different recipes, & end up throwing in garbage. I found yours, its so easy to make it, end up the best lemon curd ever. Thank you so much for your recipe. Btw, you very beautiful lady.
I have finally tried lemon curd using this wonderful & EASY recipe! It came out wonderful and I used it on my lemon cheesecake! Everyone loved it and so did I!!! Thank you again!
I have made this lemon curd twice using this method and it works out just as shown on this video. It takes to fear out of making lemon curd. Maybe have a stool to sit on because you will be stirring this consistently for a while but it’s totally worth the end results. I prefer my curds over store bought curds. 😊
Thank you so much for the delicious Lemon Curd recipe. I made a lemon scoop cake and it's absolutely delicious!! It was very easy to prepare!! God Bless!!
Wow Nicki that was bang on...I’ve looked at a lot of different methods but yours is by far the silkiest and tastiest way of making lemon curd for my cheesecake... Thanks for your video and helping me finish my cake for everyone to love..
I have never made Lemon Curd in my whole life, but this was sooo easy and it turned out perfect. I was asked to make something with Lemon in it, I'm making a lemon cheese cake and this is perfect for it, to put on top. Thank you Thank You.
Hi Nicki, Thank you very much for the video on how to make lemon curd! I followed your video and it came out amazing! I used it to make a lemon, blueberry trifle two weeks ago and it was so good I'm making it again this week. Have a fantastic day. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Joe S.
I was really scared to make Lemon Curd considering many of my friends had tried and failed . This recipe is so SIMPLE to follow and taste DIVINE !!!! Thank you I feel like a "Domestic Goddess"
Hello glad to have found your channel. I am so happy to see that you actually scrape out the bowl/pot and not waste the ingredients. Looking forward to finding more videos. Stay safe😷😷😷😷🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you for the great video. I am not even a lemon girl but I'm having a guest over and lemon is her favourite. I wish you had a TV program. I would absolutely watch you. You are very pleasant and easy to follow. Good luck with whatever you are doing. I'm sure it is great. Thank you again
Hi, I just made this using brown sugar and juice from frozen sliced lemons. Looks a bit different but it tastes great. After having looked at about 6 other recipes, I went with yours and really glad I did. Great method. Thanks. Stay safe. :)
I'm probably a little too proud of myself :) I'd never made Lemon Curd before and your method was so easy to follow! Thank you!!!!!! It is sunshine in a jar!!! I will use it on almond butter cookies, to top a cheesecake, to fill crepes, to make greek yogurt lemon curd swirl popsicles!
I made this for my coconut cake and it came out perfectly. Next time, I will cough up the little $$ needed for UNsalted butter, as you instructed. When I tasted it before spreading it on the cake, I could see why it mattered. However, it did not affect the flavor of the cake at all (whew!). Very simple recipe. Thank you!
This recipe is really really good and easy!! Thanks.. By the way, is it possible to make orange curd with the same amount of orange juice as the lemon juice?
Thank you for sharing! If I wanted to thicken this recipe up enough to substitute as a lemon pie filling - i.e. not want it to "run" when I cut a slice of pie out, would two or three tbsp. of cornstarch during the final heating phase do the trick? or just continued low heat cooking to thicken enough naturally?
thank you for tutorial...last time i make lemon curd..its like scrambled egg with lemon flavour :D i hope next time i make this it wont be like the last time :D
Amazing, but is the skin forming bad? It sounds like something I would make intentionally, I mean the skin on the top, to add a little more extra thickness perhaps?
i followed the same steps. except i failed and boiled it for 1 minute. i hope this won't change the taste. actually for now,it tastes fine. still witing for it to cool down
What I do is take a vegetable peeler, peel the lemon, then FILET the lemon peel on a wooden board with a really sharp knife to remove the pith... put both lemon juice and the zest (or filet'ed lemon peel) into a blender (or a small-capacity food processor), and puree it. That way the lemon curd at the end would still remain very smooth.
This method sounds wonderfully simple but doesn't explain what to do about the chalazae (the little white strings that anchor the yolk to the egg shell in very fresh eggs). That was always the reason I personally strained my egg sauces, to remove those. They do not dissolve, but cook up into a solid clump. I have sometimes trimmed them off before adding, but you obviously didn't do that in the video. How do YOU deal with them?
Naomi Snider I wanted to know if you could help me out? I made lemon curd for the first time and it was awful! I read the recipe 3 times before making it. The result was smelled like eggs and it tasted like eggs with the other ingredienst, I loved only that part. The eggy smell and taste was not the best part. Could you help me out, if you can?
@@craftysmalltowngirl Sorry, I don't know. I have been holding off making this until I hear from the maker of this video for an answer to my own question. She is apparently not responding. I did read someone else's comment that they experienced the egginess also, but most of the commenters are raving about their results. Go figure.
+ZoobaAruba you probably didn't do anything wrong. You should always use fresh eggs to start, however. You could also increase the amount of lemon zest....... but as I mentioned in a separate comment, I would actually puree the lemon zest with the lemon juice to keep everything smooth at the very end. Alternatively, while this recipe doesn't call for it, you could choose to offset some of the egg content with a fillers or thickeners like a little bit of gelatin (blend it into some heated lemon juice before mixing it in with the rest of the liquids), cornstarch, or even some VERY-fine almond meal.
Gonna try making this today :D Edit: I followed your recipe to a T, and I must say I am happy with how it came, but it came out too strong-flavoured, way too much lemon and too much sugar, I'd say. It would be fine if there was just half of both in my opinion.
I made the curd and it wasn't thick like yours it was smooth and like water maybe I added too much sugar or butter or lemon juice. I put it on medium flame to thicken well see if it turns out okay 😢

True but in the USA we use cups and tbsp...I think followers will do the conversions just fine. ;)
Perfect technique to avoid curdling of eggs. I've used this recipe so many times already and it always comes out smooth and scrambled egg free and so easy to make. I thought this deserves a positive feedback afrer so long. Many thanks.

Hi from North Wales UK I’m going to make this today , thanks for not showing us how to grate and juice a lemon x
wow
wow so simple and easy and still the same result! amazing great recipe I'm going to subscribe :)
Hello, what would the shelf life and storage options be for this lemon curd?
Amazing, but is the skin forming bad? It sounds like something I would make intentionally, I mean the skin on the top, to add a little more extra thickness perhaps?
PRAISE GOD! Wow! It's look so yummy! I want to make this 4d Christmas eve.Love!Love!Love!
How long does this last stored in the refrigerator?
Where is the recipe link..and im looking for sweet as i made one and it was good but a bit bitter..wanna try this..is it salted or unsalted butter
I did try this Lemmon curd, and I must say. I love it. Is there a way to make it without using Sugar?
I made this in class it was baking class and it was delicious cause we put berries in there
how much does it make?
i followed the same steps. except i failed and boiled it for 1 minute. i hope this won't change the taste. actually for now,it tastes fine. still witing for it to cool down
Me recuerdas a Giada
Is there is recipe for eggless lemon curd ? Or what alternative thing we can use instead of egg ?
What I do is take a vegetable peeler, peel the lemon, then FILET the lemon peel on a wooden board with a really sharp knife to remove the pith... put both lemon juice and the zest (or filet'ed lemon peel) into a blender (or a small-capacity food processor), and puree it. That way the lemon curd at the end would still remain very smooth.
Hello Tom
HI :D YOU ARE SO PRETTY :B
Can I use Lime instead? I am afraid if I use Lime could be end up more bitter than lemon. It is all I can get at the moment lol Lime
What is the name of this chef ?

I just made this, it tastes yummy and lemony sweet, but it smells really strongly of egg :( I don't know what I did wrong or how to fix it.
+ZoobaAruba you probably didn't do anything wrong. You should always use fresh eggs to start, however. You could also increase the amount of lemon zest....... but as I mentioned in a separate comment, I would actually puree the lemon zest with the lemon juice to keep everything smooth at the very end.

I get requests EVERY year for this.
Gonna try making this today :D
