Lemon Curd Recipe

If you follow along with me on Instagram, you know my love of food runs deep. I love a gorgeous recipe that is easy to photograph because the colors are just stunning. If you stop over there today, you'll find another way to use your lemon curd. You can find it here. So simple right?! Lemon curd takes any dessert from fine to over-the-top amazing.

Plus, it's not that difficult to make. You'll definitely want some tools of the trade. The first thing you need is a lemon zester. I'm partial to this one because it's super easy to manipulate. I've also used this one before and it might even do a better job of zesting, but it takes some getting used to. You'll also want a lemon juicer. This one is by far my favorite because it's sturdy and you don't need to have strong hands to work it. You'll also want a food processor to combine the lemon zest with the sugar. I'm partial to my Ninja because of the Auto IQ technology. Plus, I can use it for my smoothies and it's so much easier to clean up then a regular blender.

Since we're planning a rainbow birthday party for the Spring, I thought the lemon curd with a rainbow fruit salad would kick it up a notch. It certainly did! You'll have everyone coming back for more fruit just because it has the lemon curd on it. I even ate my banana pieces, which I normally cannot handle unless it's mixed into a smoothie or baked in bread.
