 Lemon curd is so much easier to make than I thought it would be and it’s ready within minutes.  

It is a heavenly, sweet yet tart, citrus, velvety custard-like texture that is a British ‘Tea-Time’ favorite, mainly used as a spread on scones, breads, toast or used as a filling in desserts.

 I got this awesome recipe from Fig Jam and Lime Cordial and it IS amazing!  I was intimidated to make this, but it’s way too easy.  *Win*  We like easy!  You should really give it a try.

Yummy, yummy and insanely lemony!

I used this Lemon Curd in my Triple Lemon Cupcake Delights and my Lemon Burst Poke Cake. 

Here’s the recipe!

    I was looking through Pinterest and ran across a “Lemon Poke Cake” and I saw your comment about making Homemade Lemon Curd and had to see how to make such a great flavor dessert. I loved the desserts you spoke of. There is a dessert that I make that is so fast and easiest dessert, I named it Fluff Cake. I thought the ingredients sounded good together and was it ever.

    Fluff Cake

    Angel Food Cake
    I box of powder sugar
    8 oz cream cheese
    1 stick butter
    Comstock Fruit of your choice but will say that everyone loves it Blueberry. You can also, thicken some juice of any flavor and just stir in fresh fruit.

    Whip the cool whip, butter, cream cheese together. Cut the Angel Food Cake, add half the mixture Angel Food Cake and half Comstock. So fast and easy to make. Everyone had always loved this.

    […] We used Comstock pre-made lemon pudding pie filling from the can to get truly homemade taste and quality.  Plus, it’s super easy, because it’s already made, so one less step if you go down this route.  You can also use instant lemon pudding or use your favorite homemade lemon pudding or lemon curd.  […]
