Lemon curd is a condiment that can be best described as a citrus custard. It is creamy and rich and has a sweet, strong lemon flavor. But what can you do with lemon curd? Here are some ideas:
Spread
Treat the paste as spread for desserts and simply spread lemon curd on your scones, pancakes, or waffles. If you’re a fan of fruity granola bars, try adding some tartness by dipping one end in some lemon curd.
Filling
A classic use of lemon curd is as tart or pie filling, but make sure you counteract it with fresh fruit. It’s also great in between vanilla cake layers or if you’re making sandwich cookies, it might add some zest to your dessert.
Treat
This might feel a bit bold since it’s so rich but sometimes the best thing to do with lemon curd is put your spoon in the jar and just eat it all up. For a slightly more formal serving, put a couple of spoons of curd in a fancy glass, top up with some whipped cream, and put berries on top with a sprinkle of custard sugar on top. Enjoy!
