Pucker Up
They say that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade. We prefer to make lemon curd! Especially when it’s Meyer lemon season. Meyer lemons are sweeter than regular lemons, so they are perfect for a little indulgence. We originally made this lemon curd to pair with our gluten free lemon scones, but it can also go well with toast, biscuits, yogurt, ice cream – anything that could use an extra dose of zesty flavor. We have been daydreaming about using this lemon curd recipe to top a fluffy stack of pancakes…too delicious!
The only ingredients you will need are lemons, sugar, butter and eggs, so the recipe is fairly simple. Find the full recipe in the printable template below, and feel free to let us know what you think after you try it out. For more culinary inspiration, browse all of our recipes on the site. Or, add some lemon designs to your home decor with the collection of projects in our Winter Citrus Series.

Back to the TopLia: If gifting this or it is not used in one sitting, how best should this be stored? And how long will it last?
Hi Donna,
You can store this in a reusable container and it should keep for 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
How much does this make (ounces)?
Hi! This recipe should make about 2 cups.
I made your lemon curd recipe today, so delicious! I was making some Nutella mousse for our Easter dinner dessert but some of my adult children don’t like chocolate. Then I thought that maybe I would make a lemon mousse also. So I whipped some heavy cream with a little sugar and folded the lemon curd into the whipped cream. It is fabulous! Can’t wait for my family to try it tomorrow!
Adding whipped cream sounds amazing! I hope your family enjoyed it 🙂
In the directions is says “place a bowl over a pan ( but not touching the pan)”. How is that possible? Please clarify.
Ack! You’re right, it’s not possible 🙂 I edited the typo, it should say to place a bowl over a pot of gently boiling water but don’t let the bowl actually touch the water. Thanks!
Lemon Curd without eggs:
3 lemons – Juice and zests
150 g fine sugar (for Diabetics: 60 g Fructose + 1 teaspoon fluid sweetener)
1 tablespoon starch (corn starch or potato starch)
80 g unsalted butter
How nice, thanks for sharing!
