About Lemon curd dessert

Lemon curd is a sweet, tangy spread made from simple ingredients: fresh lemons, sugar, egg yolks, and butter. Originating from 19th-century British cuisine, it gained popularity as a versatile dessert component, often used as a filling for pastries, a topping for scones, or a layer in cakes. The star ingredient, lemons, provides vitamin C and antioxidants, promoting immune health and digestion. However, lemon curd is calorie-dense due to its sugar and butter content, making portion control essential if you're mindful of added fats and sugars. Its creamy texture and vibrant citrus flavor make it a delicious treat, perfect for adding brightness to desserts, but best enjoyed in moderation for a balanced diet.
