About Lemon custard

Lemon custard is a creamy dessert made with a blend of eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and milk or cream, often thickened over gentle heat. Originating from European cuisine, particularly in English and French culinary traditions, its tangy and rich flavor makes it a beloved treat. The fresh lemon juice provides a natural source of vitamin C, while the eggs offer protein and essential nutrients like choline. However, its high sugar content and the use of cream can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those monitoring their sugar and fat intake. Lemon custard can be enjoyed as a standalone dessert, a filling for tarts, or a topping for cakes and pastries, making it a versatile and indulgent option.
