Homemade Lemon Curd

Homemade Lemon Curd

A delicious and creamy lemon flavored cream.  Lemon Curd is thick and soft and has a wonderful tart, yet sweet citrus flavor. It makes a wonderful filling for tarts, pies, and cakes.   

This is the perfect lemon flavored dessert, but

is it lemon pudding?  or like lemon pudding? or the ‘new’ version of lemon pudding?

I don’t know how long it’s been around, but I just recently heard of it. So I compared recipes and the difference between lemon pudding and lemon curd is about 2 1/2 cups of milk.

Lemon Curd is more like a custard for tarts and fillings. Lemon pudding is, well……pudding

Lemon Curd is tangy, tart, and has a sweet citrus flavor.

So, if you want to make lemon tarts or pies, this will be perfect.
