Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When grating lemon peel, avoid the white pith underneath as it can make the curd bitter—only grate the thin yellow surface.
  • If the heat is too high during double boiling, the eggs may scramble, so maintain a gentle simmer and stir without pause.
  • For less sweetness, adjust the sugar amount according to personal preference.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a special spread to enjoy at home cafes with toast or cookies.
  • Anyone wanting to make a premium dessert with refreshing, crisp lemon flavor at home.
