Best Ever Citrus Curd – Choose Your Favorite!

I spent last weekend getting my curd on and buying all the citrus I could find…

A curd is so versatile and delicious.

If you’ve never tried it before, it’s basically a thick sweet and tangy spread that can be used in just about any dessert or baked breakfast item.

Remember my passion fruit thumbprint cookie recipe? I made a passion fruit curd to fill my cookies.

In a classic English tea, they serve a delicious lemon curd on top a scone with clotted cream.

It’s tangy, sweet and super aromatic.

My brother and sister in law came over and did a tasting of all the curds. Their favorite came out to be the lime and then the grapefruit.

My personal favorite was the orange one since it has a tangy but floral taste.

Obviously, you don’t have to make all five, just pick your favorite citrus and follow the recipe below.

The method is super easy, I made all 5 in less than an hour.

Double or triple the recipe quantities if you’d like.

Combine it with a sponge cake and whipped cream and you’ll have the best tasting birthday cake.

At this point, the curd just needs to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.

It’s recommended to place a plastic wrap directly on the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
