Lemon Curd Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together egg, yolks, sugar, lemon zest and juice, and salt. Bring to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook until mixture is thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Whisk in butter. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of lemon curd, and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.

Steps:

• In a 2 quart saucepan, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, eggs, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat until thick enough to hold marks from whisk, and first bubble appears on surface, about 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Place mixing bowl and whisk in freezer for 10 minutes before you start.
• Whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and whip to form stiff peaks.
• Place lemon curd in a separate bowl and add 1/4 of whipped cream. Mix curd and cream together until completely combined. Fold in remaining whipped cream.
