An easy recipe for Thermomix Lemon Curd made in fifteen minutes. Enjoy it on toast, scones, pancakes, waffles, cakes, and so much more.
Making Lemon Curd in the Thermomix is super easy, you only need four ingredients, and it takes just fourteen minutes to cook. It saves a lot of effort standing over a hot stove constantly whisking away and is guaranteed to be lump-free.
Once you make this smooth and creamy Thermomix Lemon Curd, there is no going back to store-bought versions. It's deliciously sweet and tangy and lasts in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Ingredients
All you need is caster sugar, butter, eggs and lemon juice and zest. I use four whole eggs and one egg yolk. There are different variations - I love this version as it gives the curd a lovely yellow colour.
Step by Step
- Insert the Butterfly whisk and place all the ingredients into the mixing bowl.
- Cook for 14 minutes/80°/speed 3 until lovely and thick - it will continue to thicken when it cools down.
Some recipes call for straining the lemon curd before it sets to get rid of the zest. I don't bother as it's messy and creates more washing up, and I find the cooked zest is hard to detect.
Transfer the lemon curd to a container or sterilised jar, then cover the surface with cling film to prevent skin from forming. Allow cooling on the bench-top, then store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Ways to Enjoy Lemon Curd
- Spread over toast, Pancakes or Waffles
- Stir into Porridge
- Spread over Scones
- Spread over Cup Cakes
- Stir into Greek Yogurt
- Make mini lemon tarts
- Give as a lovely gift to someone special!

Notes
Lemon Zest
It's a personal preference whether to seive the curd before storing to get rid of the lemon zest. I don't notice it too much so skip this step.
How to Store
Store in an airtight jar/container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
