Evil Goddess. Yes, evil. Lemon curd is one of the monkeys I used to be able to keep off my back because it was either WAY too much trouble or WAY too much money. Now that my drug of choice is so easy and quick, I may never recover!

Thanks!

Lovely looking curd and the tarts below too. One friend at work used wanton wrappers to achieve a similar result. Just put them in the tin, press, and bake just a few minutes. He filled them with a ricota cheese mixture topped by whipped cream, a dusting of pistachios and a cherry.

Now......can you address the limitations of those of us poor sods not allowed to have whole eggs, sugar or salt?

Many hugs........

For awhile I shall avoid the kitchen. Yesterday our heat factor was 104 degrees! Dishes waited until this morning.

Jo, I just ignore the zest, Philistine that I am. Some recipes call for it, some don't -- and those that do often tell you to strain it out after the curd is cooked. It's easier for me to just tap a bottle of RealLemon.

Wendy, I think you may have something there. Isn't crack supposed to be instantly and highly addictive? Lord knows, lemon curd is!

Oh, swoon! I like the name Goddess Lemon Curd but among my set, it might get to be known as Lemon Curd Crack! (Our choice of lingo in place of "death" or "killer"--not that we'd really know.)

Ah, Dee, you've done your magic again. I'll have to try the new and improved lemon curd. What? No lemon zest in it? That's kewl. It was tedious getting the zest off those three lemons I had to do the other day.

You know, John, if I was a nicer person, I'd give both US and metric portions. Every once in a while the thought crosses my alleged mind. Then I make myself take a nap and the idea goes away. (smile) I wonder if I can find a conversion widget that I can put in the sidebar so folks can translate my measures to metric? I'll do a hunt and see what I can find.

"virtuous and chef-like" Thats's a winner, Dee!

I'm going to have to go down the kitchen shop and buy a set of US measures so's I can keep up with your experiments. I have two sets of weights and (liquid) measures -- imperial and metric. Another won't hurt!
