This lemon curd has a nicely balanced taste, neither too eggy nor too tart. It may be used as a frosting, and it is the foundation for a variety of fillings. You can add butter, fold in whipped cream or meringue, or top it with meringue. Lemon curd spread over caramel cream in a baked tart is a fabulous blend. Combined with fresh fruits, such as peaches, strawberries, papayas, mangoes, bananas or blueberries, it is glorious.
