Lemon curd is delicious served on toast or scones, and also very good as a filling for cakes, cheesecakes, as an ice cream topping, on biscuits or crêpes.


Ingredients (makes 2 Cups)

  • 3 Whole Eggs
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 3/4 Cup Caster Sugar
  • 2 Lemons rind finely grated
  • 200ml Lemon Juice (approx 3 Lemons)
  • 125g butter cubed

Method

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, beat whole eggs, egg yolks and sugar until incorporated. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the egg mixture.
  2. Add grated lemon rind and lemon juice, give it a quick stir and place into microwave.
  3. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM or 50% (I used a 650W-power microwave) for about 8 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. During the cooking, stop the microwave every minute and give the mixture a stir before resuming cooking.
  4. For a smoother creamier curd push through a strainer

  • I would love this on plain arrowroot biscuits or things like that.

  • Yum, I want some of this right now (10pm at night). Lucky I haven’t got any lemons. I always thought of this as a luxury item but now it can be made in the microwave. I think I can attempt this now.
