 Ingredients List

  • 7 lg Egg yolks
  • 1 c Sugar
  • 1/2 c Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 c Unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tb Grated lemon zest
  • 16 Pre-baked tartlet shells; up

  • Edible flowers; optional

 Directions

1. Whip egg yolks at high speed in mixer until doubled in volume, about 10
minutes. They will be pale-yellow in color.

2. Meanwhile, place water in bottom of double boiler and heat until barely
simmering.

3. In another saucepan, bring sugar, lemon juice and butter to boil.

4. When egg yolks are whipped, decrease mixer speed to medium. Gradually
add hot suger-butter mixture, beating constantly.

5. Place mixing bowl just above water level over simmering water. (Do NOT
let bowl touch water) Whisk mixture constantly and cook until mixture is
thick custard, consistency of sour cream, about 10 minutes.

6. Immediately transfer to 3-cup mixing bowl. Stir in lemon zest. Cover
with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled. (Can be made few days in
advance. Before using, stir well to smooth out consistency.)

7. Up to 2 hours before serving, fill pre-baked shells with lemon curd.
Refrigerate until serving time.
