You know what they always say – When life hands you lemons, make this Easy Microwave Lemon Curd. Okay, I might be paraphrasing that a little, but that’s what the saying should be.
Homemade Lemon Curd is so easy to make, especially when you use the microwave. If you don’t want to use the microwave, you could go ahead and cook this up on the stove top over medium heat, just keep whisking it until it thickens before straining it like the original recipe.
What can you do with lemon curd? You could smear it on toast, bagels, or scones. Dollop it on ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. Mix it into milkshakes, yogurt, or whipped cream. It’s pretty versatile, and I’m sure a jar of this wouldn’t last long in your fridge. Super tart and tangy, you can make up a batch of this super Easy Microwave Lemon Curd in minutes! Be sure to zest your lemons before you juice them! To get the most juice from your lemons, heat them in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, then using the palm of your hand, push them down while rolling them along the counter before slicing it in half and squeezing the juice from it.

Oh, I totally agree, Gwen! I love lemon anything, really.
Jeanne says
I’ve made Lemon Pavlova. But then I used lemon curd that I had bought. It would be more fun to do them with home made curd.
Your recipe looks really good!
