Thick Lemon Curd for Nigella Recipe (Lemon Meringue Cake)

[BeecherK]

Hi, I have made Nigella's Lemon Meringue Cake a few times and am confident with the recipe. However, a runny curd can make it look messy. Can anyone suggest a good shop bought Lemon cud which is not too runny please?

I like Tesco’s Finest lemon curd.

Best I have ever used is the Tiptree one. I have tried many as I love making lemony things 😬

Thank you @ooohreallly Is the Tiptree one thickish?

Thank you @FadedRed is the Tesco one thickish?

Yes, it is. It’s similar in texture to a good quality jam, you have to spread it with a knife as opposed to it pouring or dripping it onto your cake iykwim.

Yes it has a nice thickness, as does the Bonne Mamon one - which is probably my second choice.

Thank you @ooohreallly and @FadedRed this is really helpful. So good to get an answer so easily.
