Lemon curd is an exceptional lemon cream. Of English origin, it peeps out on British tables around 5pm... tea time! Am I right? :-)
This cream is used not only to stuff cakes and sweets of all kinds, but it is also consumed as a spoon dessert, spread on bread or enjoyed with the legendary scones, the neutral-flavored little breads.
With an intense lemon flavor, lemon curd is a real treat for fans of this citrus fruit.
How do you prefer to eat this cream? in a cake, in a pastry or on bread?
