Lemon curd is a delicate, velvety cream with a rich citrus flavor that melts in your mouth. Its history traces back to European cuisine, where it became a symbol of sophistication and harmony of flavors. The sweetness of sugar balances the refreshing tartness of lemon, while butter gives the cream a silky texture. This dessert is perfect for filling tarts, pies, or as an addition to toast and croissants. Its rich flavor makes every morning a little brighter and every dessert unforgettable.
