Lemon curd - what to do with it?

48 replies

ExitChasedByABear · 20/01/2021 18:48

I made a lot of lemon curd. I’m thinking of making some scones to have with it. Possibly have it with crêpes tomorrow...what else can I do with lemon curd? Looking for foolproof ideas.

TIA

Lemon meringue pie, lemon curd ice cream.

BigFatLiar · 20/01/2021 18:56

I just used it like jam. On bread (sandwiches), in cakes or puddings.

Endless rounds of buttered toast, topped with lemon curd.

Mix it with mascarpone and serve with fruit. It goes well with rhubarb.

Get a spoon!

Yes yes to hot buttered toast, pie filling, with yoghurt, between 2 sponge cakes before covering in buttercream.

It's lovely as a filling for a Victoria sandwich with a lemon drizzle topping

6heartsforhumphrey · 20/01/2021 19:05

Add it to porridge Smile

Persipan · 20/01/2021 19:05

Use it in place of butter to make bread and butter pudding. Mega bonus points if the bread is panettone.

Blue5238 · 20/01/2021 19:06

Mix with Greek yoghurt. Or just eat by the spoonful

WisestIsShe · 20/01/2021 19:06

Stir it in to lightly whipped double cream for the easiest mousse ever. Top with crushed shortbread.

Lemon curd, limoncello and meringue ice cream

Whip up double cream until stiff peaks
Stir in jar of lemon curd
Stir in 2 x shots of limoncello
Crumble up 2 x meringue nests, stir in

Line a loaf tin with clingfilm and pour in mixture. Freeze.

Twixmas · 20/01/2021 19:11

Puff pastry jam/lemon curd tarts. Better with a lid to stop the lemon curd catching.

Goingtothebudgies · 20/01/2021 19:12

Homemade ice cream.

Goingtothebudgies · 20/01/2021 19:13

Lemon curd frozen yoghurt would be great too.
I made a baked cheese cake with it the other day.

AdaColeman · 20/01/2021 19:15

Spread on buttered stale bread to use in bread & butter pudding.

Serve with creamy rice pudding.

Swirl into readymade custard for a quick fruit fool.

Swirl into whisked cream and spoon over broken meringues for a lemon Eton mess, add a few strawberries or raspberries if liked.

Fill a Swiss roll.
