"Sort-of" Meyer Lemon (Lemon and Orange) Curd

Jan 19, 2015 18:08

I haven't been able to find any Meyer lemons so far, but I wanted to make a curd which was similar in flavour, so I substituted some of the lemon juice in my curd recipe with freshly squeezed orange juice. The result is this "Sort of" Meyer Lemon Curd.

Those look great and I have a tree full of Meyer lemons. I forget how easy it is to make crepes. Thanks for the reminder.

Making crepes is easy ... like making cream puffs. Something else you could fill with your lemon curd.

I think I'm going to make some lemon curd tiramisu next. And dip the biscuits ('Nilla wafers instead of ladyfingers) in limoncello instead of espresso. I just have to figure out a way to make it not TOO sweet.

Oh, I can't wait for that recipe! The Big Guy hates espresso, so I never make it.

How different in taste is espresso from regular coffee? Or is it coffee in general that he doesn't like? I'd be tempted to spike regular coffee with a coffee liqueur and make it anyway. :) I've bought the ladyfingers to make tiramisu with but just never got around to getting the mascarpone. I think the use of raw eggs in the dessert also put me off.

Gosh, this looks so tasty. I love crepes, and I love lemon! What a nice idea for a light dessert that doesn't spare on flavour.

Thank you. I now have a bunch of lemon curd to get through so I made limoncello tiramisu. Will post when I cut into it.

Oh, that sounds SO GOOD! Lemon is one of my favourite flavours. I keep meaning to make preserved lemon to add to dishes, maybe this spring... I also just saw a recipe for a wild ferment lemon chutney I'd like to try out!

Thank you. I've admired those jars of preserved lemons seen in blogs but I know I'm unlikely to ever use the stuff. :(

I have never tried a meyer lemon nor even seen one. I'm not sure they're available in Oz. I do love the look of your lemon crepes - one of my most favourite desserts xx http://hotlyspiced.com

Thank you so much. I had a craving for lemon curd and am looking for more ways to enjoy it since putting it on toast doesn't really appeal. I just found out it's a great topping on plain cheesecakes too. :)
