Grate the lemon zest and squeeze the juice, reserving.
In a saucepan, add sugar and heavy cream. Heat over low heat until the cream boils, stirring occasionally.
Once the heavy cream is boiling, remove from heat and add lemon juice and zest. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
After 1 hour in the refrigerator, the lemon curd will be ready to serve.
Tips:
Use fresh lemons for optimal flavor and aroma.
Be careful to heat the heavy cream over low heat to prevent it from sticking or burning.
Adjust the sweetness level to your personal preference and the acidity level of the lemons.
Stir the lemon curd well off the heat to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Chill the cream in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving for a firm texture and better flavor development.
Customize the presentation of lemon curd to your taste and use it as a filling or topping for cakes, pastries or desserts.
