Lemon Cream (lemon curd with milk)
Report
A light and silky lemon cream that's very refreshing and so flavorful! Just like a lemon curd, but made with milk!

Ingredients
- 4 lemons zest and juice (about 280 ml juice)
- 250 grams / 8.8 oz sugar
- 4 medium-sized eggs
- 60 grams / 2.1 oz corn starch
- 1 liter milk
- 100 grams / 3.5 oz butter
Instructions
- Whisk cornstarch and eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Heat milk in a saucepan until steamy hot. Set aside.
- Add the lemon zest, juice, and sugar to a small cooking pot and heat over moderate heat until it starts to simmer. Stir constantly with a whisk until the sugar dissolves completely. Take the pot off the heat.
- Place the bowl with the cornstarch and egg mixture next to the pot with the lemon juice. Add a dampened sponge cloth under the bowl to keep it in place. NOTE: Cornstarch tends to sink to the bottom of the bowl so give it a good stir first.
- Pour the hot lemon juice into the cornstarch and egg mixture very slowly while stirring constantly with a whisk. Once you have incorporated it all, transfer everything back into the cooking pot.
- Pour in the hot milk as well and turn the heat to medium-low.
- Stir with a whisk until the cream thickens. Once the consistency of the cream looks like plain yogurt, the cream is ready. Turn the heat off. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the butter and transfer the cream into small bowls or jars of your preference. It will yield about 6 small bowls.
- Cool. Let cream reach room temperature, then refrigerate for 4-5 hours before serving.
- Serve with vanilla or cinnamon biscuits, fresh strawberries, or other red fruit, or keep it simple and serve as is!
