Lemon curd, also known as "lemon cheese," is a traditional English dessert made with lemon: a silky, delicately flavored cream generally used to fill cakes, tarts and various desserts, and excellent on toasted sandwich bread or the traditional scones served during the indispensable 5:00 p.m. tea. The basic ingredients of lemon curd are simple: eggs, sugar, butter and lemon, which, when gently cooked to form an aromatic cream, give us a dessert with a perfectly velvety texture. Made in small quantities (unlike jam or preserves it cannot be kept for long), lemon curd will surprise you with its delicious and extremely delicate taste. As with every recipe, there are several versions of this decadent cream; today we will prepare the classic lemon curd recipe, slightly diluting the lemon juice with a bit of water and a little orange juice to achieve an exceptionally good result: believe me, you'll love lemon curd at the first taste!
