    Thermomix lemon curd is the easiest way of making lemon curd. It's sweet and tangy, perfect for making dozens of desserts or for just eating as is.

    • Thermomix Lemon Curd

    What is lemon curd?

    Curds are dessert spreads made with eggs, sugar, and citrus, most commonly lemons. However, limes, oranges, or even berries can be used to make delicious curds. Have a look at this blueberry curd I've made to fill someย mini blueberry tarts - you will love it!

    It is a typical English dessert, born sometime at the end of the 19th century when it was made to be served with scones or bread at the afternoon tea.

    Recipe ingredients

    You will need just a few ingredients: lemons, eggs, sugar, and unsalted butter.

    Lemons: I recommend using organic, unwaxed lemons, as you will also need their zest. Even if organic, wash the lemons very thoroughly and rub them well with kitchen rubber and soapy water to remove the wax. Then, dry well with kitchen towels.

    Eggs: Classic recipes use only egg yolks, but this Thermomix recipe uses the entire egg, and I find that great. I have enough unused egg whites filling my freezer as it is.

    Thinking about egg whites? Should you have any leftovers, why not try thisย Egg White Cake?

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make lemon curd in Thermomix?

    • Place all the ingredients in the Thermomix. Let the machine do its job.
    • Pour the lemon curd into jars. Let cool and thicken.

    How to store it?

    First, the lemon curd will still be rather runny when hot. Don't worry about it; let it cool in the jars on the counter. It will thicken as it cools.

    You must keep it refrigerated; unlike bought curd, it contains no preservatives.

    It will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks but it never lasts that long. Even if you don't use it for making desserts, you will probably be done with it in a few days. It is that good!

    How to use lemon curd?

    Serve the traditional British way with scones. Make a trifle and sandwich cookies, and use them to top a pavlova or fill cupcakes or muffins.

    Serve it on pancakes or German waffles, use it to fill creme fraiche crepes, or serve it with ice cream.

    Cheesecakes: you could try one of these: a baked lemon curd blueberry cheesecake or a no-bake blueberry lemon curd cheesecake. They are both incredibly rich and creamy, but the unbaked one is just easier and quicker to make.

    Fill small pastries with it. Try these delicious raspberry lemon curd tarts, for instance. Make a large tart shell and fill it with lemon curd. Leave simple or top with berries and whipped cream.

    Make lemon curd buttercream.

    Make a filling for cakes: I often use this combination for filling or topping sponge or biscuit cakes: Soften about 150 g/ โ…” cup cream cheese. Mix with โ…“ of the lemon curd from the recipe. Whip 200 ml/ scant 1 cup heavy cream. When half whipped, slowly add 2 teaspoons corn starch for stability and continue whipping until the cream is stiff. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
