Lemon curd is a delicate, velvety cream with a bright citrus flavor that captivates with its refreshing tartness and subtle sweet notes. The origins of this dessert trace back to 19th-century English cuisine, where curd was used as an exquisite filling for pies and toasts. It is made from fresh lemon juice, fragrant zest, eggs, sugar, and butter, creating an amazingly smooth consistency. Lemon curd is perfect for soaking sponge cakes, filling tartlets or as an accompaniment to morning croissants. This cream transforms ordinary desserts into works of art by enriching them with a refreshing citrus touch.
