Easiest Lemon Curd Recipe for Thermomix

Lemon curd is a deliciously sweet and tangy spread which can be used to fill tarts, spread onto scones or simply eat it by the spoonful! 

Making lemon curd in the Thermomix is so much easier than the traditional stovetop method. The ingredients are simply added to the bowl and the machine does all the work. It’s almost failure proof as there is no chance of burning the curd or making scrambled eggs accidentally.

Common Questions About Lemon Curd

Does lemon curd thicken in the fridge?

Yes! Don’t worry if your curd looks more like a sauce when it has finished cooking. It’s normal for it to be quite liquid whilst hot. Once the curd has been refrigerated it will thicken and become opaque.

Does lemon curd need to be refrigerated?

Homemade curd should be refrigerated as preservatives have not been added to the mixture and there isn’t enough sugar act as an effective preservative. Also, the recipe includes butter and eggs which are best kept in the fridge.

How long does lemon curd last?

Sterilised glass jars with an adequate seal will allow the recipe to be stored in the fridge for up to three months. Once the jars are opened they should be consumed within two weeks are the curd will start to discolour.
