When life gives you lemons, try not to be a cliche about it and make lemon curd! No need for a saucepan, our Quick Lemon Curd Recipe is made fresh in the microwave.
Lemon curd is a sweet spread that is versatile enough to be paired with so many delicious flavors and treats. We love spreading it on top of plain greek yogurt and bread with some fresh berries or on some tasty cookies. Your lemon curd can be used on layered cakes, pavlovas, beignets, ice cream, and lemon macarons, or in muffins, crepes, and lemon tarts. You can add some ginger to spice up the flavor of this lemon curd recipe.

If the microwave part of this recipe scares your or makes if feel like you’re somehow cheating – you’re not alone! It totally freaked some of us out when we tried it. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised with the buttery rich and silky smooth texture in our quick lemon curd recipe.
In a microwave safe bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter. Cook in microwave for one minute intervals, whisking after each minutes until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Approx. 4 minutes. The lemon curd can last up to three weeks in the refrigerator.Quick Lemon Curd
