Let the curd cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serving Ideas:
Serve with toast, scones, or as a filling for vegan cakes and tarts.
Tips for Success:
1/ Use Fresh Lemons: The quality of the lemon juice will directly impact the flavor. Freshly squeezed juice is far superior to bottled varieties.
2/ Control Thickness: If you like your lemon curd thicker, add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch. For a thinner curd, reduce the cornstarch by half.
3/ Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter curd, you can add up to 3/4 cup of sugar. For those who like their curd more tart, stick to the 1/2 cup.
4/ Don’t Skip the Strain: If you want an extra-smooth curd, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before refrigerating. This will remove any bits of zest or undissolved cornstarch.
