What do you do with lemon curd?


Recommended Posts

My mother brought me a bottle from Prince Edward Island and I haven't a clue what to use it for. Although I think I've seen it in recipes before as a cake filling maybe?? Any fabulous ideas out there? Especially as it's her and my son's birthday on Thursday and I said I'd do the cake.

I pile it up on a scone, as high as it will go without making a mess of my fingers.

This is a recipe I make in the summer using lemon curd. It's totally a special occasion cookie...and oh, so yummy.

 

Frozen Lemon Cream Sandwiches

one 7-oz container chilled creme fraiche

1/4 cup lemon curd

finely grated zest of one lemon

12 crisp butter waffle cookies

1/4 cup chopped unsalted pistachios

Line a small baking sheet with wax paper. In a chilled bowl, beat the creme fraiche with the lemon curd and zest until firm peaks form.

Arrange half of the cookies on the baking sheet and spoon the lemon cream onto the centers, letting it ooze gently to the edges. Top w/the remaining cookies, pressing down very gently. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze the sandwiches until firm, at least 4 hrs.

Spread the nuts on a plate and roll the edges of the sandwiches in them.

6 servings

(Can be frozen in an airtight container up to one week.)

NOTES:

Jules Destrooper Crisp Butter Wafers (from Belgium) are available from specialty shops in the US. They are, as their name implies, wonderfully crisp and buttery ...

accept no substitute!
