Lemon curd? Ridiculously easy? No way! I know, I know, making lemon curd can be a bit of a pain. Some recipes involve a double boiler, some careful watching, stirring and standing over the stovetop. This microwave lemon curd? Not so much! It comes together in about 10 minutes and much of that time is hands-off cooking in the microwave.

I had the thought that you might not believe me that making lemon curd could be easy, so here you go, a video demonstration:

 See what I mean? So easy and consistently fail-proof!

Don't believe me? I wouldn't have believed making lemon curd could be easy either, but the first time I tried it, I was totally sold. These are the simple steps:

  1. Combine fresh lemon juice with sugar, eggs and egg yolks.
  2. Stir until everything's smooth and a sunshiny yellow.
  3. Add the butter.
  4. Microwave in 45-second increments, whisking in between. It will take 4-6 45-second microwave stints/stirs till the mixture turns to a thickened, glossy curd.
  5. Done!

See what I mean? Easy!

Ridiculously Easy!

Every now and then I come across (or come up with) a recipe that's is so good and so easy it just has to be designated as part of our Ridiculously Easy Series (you can see many of these recipes in the thumbnails above this post). Ridiculously Easy recipes here at The Café are super popular with our readers because they are simply so easy that it's almost, well… ridiculous! But that's not the only criteria for ridiculously easy recipes. For those of you who are new to The Café, there is a list of attributes a recipe must have to be deemed "Ridiculously Easy":

  • A recipe that takes minimal effort and minimal hands-on time to put together. (Resting, rising or chilling time is not taken into consideration.)
  • It's also one that produces fabulous, super delicious results, ie, results that "appear" to have taken lots of time, talent, prowess and/or hard work.
  • Ridiculously easy recipes have to work well on those busy days when time is short and expectations are high.
  • And last, ridiculously easy recipes are perfect for entertaining, mostly because of the first two characteristics. They take the stress out of dinner parties as well as gatherings of families and/or friends and allow you more time to enjoy your people.
  • Bottom line? They're super simple, something anyone can do. (Shhhh! We'll keep that part our secret.)

This microwave lemon curd definitely checks ALL of the boxes! On top of that, it's smooth, silky, not-too-tart and not-too-sweet. Besides just eating it with a spoon, there are lots of ways to use lemon curd.

What to do with lemon curd

  • Spread it on toast, English muffins or these wonderful homemade biscuits.
  • A spoonful would be fabulous on these Ridiculously Easy Sugar Top Scones.
  • Lemon curd is delicious on pancakes, waffles, etc
  • Spoon it over ice cream and serve with shortbread cookies.
  • Fill homemade or store-bought crepes with lemon curd and topped with fresh berries and Raspberry Coulis
  • Use lemon curd as a cake filling
  • Lemon curd is a delicious filling for Pavlova or meringues.
  • Combine whipped cream and lemon curd for a light, delicious lemon mousse.
  • Serve it with fresh fruit for breakfast or brunch. I like to serve it in a pretty bowl next to the fruit. I love to add a small bowl of poppy seeds for a gourmet touch and pretty presentation.

  • Lastly, but not least, pour it into small jars topped with a pretty label and give a jar as a gift.

Café Tips for making this Easy Microwave Lemon Curd

  • This recipe calls for lemon zest. The "zest" is just the yellow part of the peel. The white part (the pith) is bitter. To easily zest a lemon (or other citrus fruits) use a microplane-style zester. These are wonderful little tools to have in the kitchen as they also work for Parmesan cheese, ginger, garlic, etc. Just a note, these zesters do get dull and need to be replaced after a couple of years.

  • If you notice any small lumps in your finished lemon curd, you may have overcooked it. Simply push it through a fine-mesh strainer and it will be silky smooth.
  • You'll be using a total of 5 eggs for this recipe: 3 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks. The extra egg yolks make the curd a little thicker. Reserve the 2 egg whites for another use (like an egg-white omelet or some delicious meringues)
  • Every microwave brand and model is different as far as power so there isn't an exact time to cook this lemon curd. It will take around 5-7 minutes in the microwave and you can tell when it's done when it coats the back of a metal spoon and/or the temperature is 175-180˚F. (I use my instant thermometer to check the temp.)
  • Receiving a jar of homemade lemon curd is like receiving a jar of sunshine!
  • This lemon curd will keep well in an airtight container for a week to 10 days.
  • You can also freeze lemon curd. Freeze in freezer storage containers, leaving ½-inch headspace to allow for expansion. I've never kept lemon curd this long, but the National Center for Home Food Preservation says that "Prepared lemon curd can be frozen for up to 1 year without quality changes when thawed."

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup sugar
  • finely grated zest from 2 lemons
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 2 large egg yolks, reserve the whites for another use or discard
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 ounces salted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions
 

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice and salt (⅛ teaspoon if using unsalted butter) until smooth. Add butter cubes. Microwave on high power for 45 seconds. Remove and stir vigorously with a whisk.
  2. Continue to cook 45-second intervals, stirring after each interval. It will take 4-7 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. Lemon curd is done cooking when it coats the back of a metal spoon. You can also check it with an instant thermometer. It's done when it reaches 175˚F.
  3. Remove from the microwave and whisk well. Add lemon zest and stir. Allow the curd to cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

See Café Tips above for further instructions and more detailed tips.
If using unsalted butter, add a pinch (about ⅛ teaspoon of salt).
My Microwave is 900watts and I use high power for this recipe.

  5. I made this today. Excellent. And I LOVE lemon curd! I need it for a separate recipe for sourdough bread pudding. I did not have the energy or brain power to fuss with an intense lemon curd recipe. This was fool-proof (me-proof), and way quicker than I imagined. The zesting and juicing took longer than the actual cooking. Fantastic! Thanks for this!

    1. Thanks for the wonderful comments, Kara! It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed both the process of this recipe as well as the curd itself.

  9. I think your butter amount is confusing on the recipe. It’s says 1 stick on all 3 recipes sizes. Same with the lemon zest…….zest of 2 lemons.

    Reply

    1. Thanks, Mary - my recipe plugin doesn't understand "sticks" of butter, and it has a hard time with the zest also. I have fixed the butter issue, if you want to double the recipe, just know that it would be the zest from 4 lemons.

    1. Thanks for letting us know how well this recipe turned out for you, Sandy! Though we haven't tested this recipe with oranges, other readers have reported success with using oranges in place of lemons. You might want to try increasing the zest though, since orange juice isn't as strong as lemon or lime.

  16. Never thought I'd be able to make lemon curd. Came out perfectly. I'd like to gift, but don't think there will be anything left.

    2. Hi Sandy, this would be delicious with oranges but, I would use more of the zest, as oranges aren't as strongly flavored as lemons. You can strain the zest out at the end, if you prefer - simply cooking it with the zest will add lots of wonderful flavor!

      Reply

  17. I love this recipe, and make it all the time. I use it in my homemade yogurt and on top of cheesecake. I put the grated lemon zest into the sugar and try to infuse all that lemon flavor into it. I cheated today and cooked it in 90 second increments and got some cooked egg whites, so I’ve learned my lesson. I also put it through a small strainer when it’s done and it is silky smooth. Delicious!!

  23. What is wrong with me, I've made this several times, follow directions to the T, and every time I have little pieces of cooked egg whites. I make sure the eggs are very well blended, and I still at the correct intervals. My sister makes with no problems. The eggs are at room temperature before I begin. It's not the recipe, it's me!!!!

    I’m dying to make this recipe to go with everything, but especially a NYT recipe for lemon poppyseed bars. I think there is a mistake in the text. It calls for 4 ounces of butter, but one stick is 8 ounces. Can you tell me which is correct? Thank you.

  70. Just made this lemon curd again and am still blown away by how easy & delicious it is. I have used it in tarts, on cheesecake, your ridiculously easy Italian Lemon Ricotta crumb cake (which is AMAZING!) as well as on toast and scones. I wish I had this recipe years ago when my Mom was alive. She loved lemon curd which I had made for her, but she would have been happy if I would have done it again. It was more complicated then and I didn't take the time from full time work and raising a busy family. Excuses and regrets.

    Reply

  72. Shut the front door, back door and any other doors leading to your kitchen - this recipe really works! I have tried so many lemon curd recipes but this is by far the easiest I have ever used. It is currently cooling before I refrigerate it and it is so thick! I am using it for a lemon meringue tart (Why not - I have egg whites from 2 eggs right?). Yes I am using your Ridiculously Easy French Press-In Tart Crust.

    BTW - I am the King of making a mess in the microwave and I did not cover the bowl and there was no splattering.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I may not dread making my annual lemon meringue pies for a friend's birthday any more. Knowing what the temperature is for the finished curd eliminates the guess work over whether or not the curd is fully cooked and insures that the curd is thick!

  81. Just finished making the lemon curd…SO EASY and yummy! I will be using it for the lemon curd tartlets for our Easter dinner. I plan on doing the tarts today and putting them in the freezer till the day of our dinner. Don’t worry, I’m not filling the tartlets until that day. That should work, shouldn’t it?

  82. This was SO YUMMY and so easy to make! I used it in a pavlova along with freshly whipped cream and fresh fruit for a Christmas tea. It was beautiful and the lemon added a little tartness along side the sweetened meringue and cream.

        2. Can you make the curd in advance and use for cheesecake topping? If so, how does it work? Do you warm up before putting on?

          Reply

          1. Hi Kelty, this would be great as a cheese cake topping. I don't think you would need to warm it before using, but you certainly could.

    1. I would love to have a pdf of the lemon curd label. It was fun to see someone else using the microwave for pudding-type desserts. I am from the South and forty years ago discovered (through trial and error) I could make our Christmas/New Year boiled custard in the microwave! So much easier than top of the stove, temper the eggs, stir forever method I had been using!! Take care,

  103. Unbelievable!!! Thank you so much for sharing this easy recipe with us. It was thrilling to watch it come together from a wet, thin liquid to a beautifully thickened, bright yellow and utterly delicious lemon curd. Don’t you just love the science of cooking?!! I made your recipe to go inside a meringue roulade for a Christmas lunch tomorrow with friends. They’d requested it from last year’s Chrissy lunch but last year’s lemon curd was a total sloppy flop- obviously I didn’t use your recipe- and I was all prepared to get in the car and buy a jar if your recipe didn’t deliver. But deliver it did and I am so excited and thrilled at how easy and fast it was. I’ve taken pics and shared it with friends, giving them your website. We all take our food very seriously here- haha- and from now I shall never fear the words lemon curd. Thank you, thank you and may you and your loved ones enjoy a happy and fun Christmas together.

  104. This was as easy as it says - it was really cool watching the curd thicken each time I took it out of the microwave. I did decrease the sugar and increase the lemon juice a bit because I like my curd really tart, but it's really fantastic recipe. Will definitely be using it again!

    1. Hi Vicki, that can happen if you don't stir it enough or if you go above the temperature. If that happens, you can always strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any cooked bits of egg.

  169. I made the Lemon Curd and Lemon Shortbread Tart for Easter. The flavors were delightful but I had a coupld of problems. Even though the curd coated a metal spoon, it seemed runny and soaked through the crust outside the tart pan's "lift up bottom." So I lost a lot of curd. Wrong pan type? Would appreciate any suggestions. Also, the Tart didn't brown nicely on the bottom crust part. I had several thing coming in and going out of the oven but let the temp. heat up to the 325 degrees for 10 minutes before inserting into oven. Thoughts? It was absolutely delicious and I am certainly going to give it another try! Thank you. I would also like the free printable labels. Thank you., Sincerely, Susan

    Reply

    1. Hi Susan,
      I'm sorry you had problems with the tart.
      Regarding the lemon curd, did you chill it before making the tart? It does thicken up quite a bit in the refrigerator which would ensure that it wouldn't make the crust soggy before it thickens up more in the oven. The crust should be thick enough that no curd should leak through. I'm honestly not sure why that happened. You might want to try avoiding the edges but a half inch when you spread the lemon curd layer. Again, sorry this was a problem for you!

I can’t use almond flour because we have allergies in the family so I will just use all purpose. I am sure it is great with the almond flour. Maybe I can add a little almond extract in the crust, imitation of course.

Recently, I made your Easy Lemon Curd Mousse that was simply delightful, but I had used some frozen store-bought lemon curd for that recipe (and yes, it was in the freezer for almost one year and it still tasted delicious). So, I thought, hmmmm let's see how Chris makes her lemon curd. At first when I saw the word "microwave" I was skeptical. Shame on me for doubting you for a fraction of a second. Absolutely incredibly Rediculously Easy to make. It came out so smooth and delicious. I'm going to run out tomorrow to buy some pretty jars so that I can share the lemon curd with my neighbor. Sharing is half the pleasure of baking, don't you think?

  248. As a lemon curd snob, I was so skeptical...but it works and it is delicious! Thank you for saving my time (and whisking arm). I'll never make lemon curd on the stove again.

  250. I"m not sure it will ever get into jars. Every time I walk by my kitchen I grab a spoonful. Mine seems a bit thin, but we'll see as it cools down. The Lemon Poppy seed cake is in the oven. Would love to have the file for the labels. Thank you

    1. I know what you mean, Nanny! Did you cook it until it reached 175º? If so it will thicken as it cools. Sending the labels your way.

  251. I’m vegan and when I saw this “ rediculously easy” recipe I thought it must be vegan! But nooooo! Give it back to the chickens! See through lemon filling is much easier, sexier and human! Grate lemon peel for color! Add a vegan option for us purest to your recipes! Get healthy!

    1. Hi Mimi, you could use the Weck jars as long as you have a little head space at the top to allow for expansion in the freezer. Or you could just use a plastic/glass storage container

  264. Chris, you NEVER let me down…my lemon curd is cooling and came out perfectly! I am using it to replicate a cake my daughter made…its called a “ pull cake” and is very southern, for bridesmaids luncheon.. The four layer cake sits in ribbons that the bridesmaids pull, and it tells their fortunes! I am doing a two layer lemon cake, with lemon curd between each layer. It is frosted with a buttercream icing that has fresh lemon juice instead of vanilla, and topped with twisted lemon slices! Thank you so much for this lovely, easy recipe!

  275. I LOVE this recipe! I've used it for lemon curd, lime curd, and lemon&lime curd. I had tested out probably a half dozen recipes before and couldn't understand why it always came out like scrambled eggs, disgusting! I think now its because they used all yolks, but even though I am better at custard making and curd making in general, this is always my go to. Its so fast, and perfect every time! I've even made it dairy free with oil and/or dairy free butter and if you thicken it up a tiny bit more, its still spot on! Thank you so much!

  308. I’ve always made lemon curd on the stovetop but I think I’ll be doing it this way from now on! Not only is it way easier and foolproof, I prefer the flavor of this lemon curd to ones I’ve made in the past. It’s perfectly sweet and tart and not eggy. I was also pleasantly surprised at how much it made! I’m going to top cheesecake with it and may make some mini tarts. Thanks for this amazing recipe!

  368. Just tried this recipe tonight to add to a recipe I found for Lemon Curd Bread Pudding. It is easy as promised, as are all your Ridiculously Easy recipes! I had hoped it would be a little tarter though. It may be the lemons themselves. I don't currently have an inexpensive source for good lemons (although I have a Meyer Lemon tree that is now two feet tall and starting to give lemons), so I just buy what I can at the supermarket. The curd turned out smooth and came together easily. Please send me the labels, as these will be perfect for holidays gifts. I may try this recipe with other fruits, like passion fruit, as well.

On that last 45 seconds it thickened up and I was overjoyed 😄 super easy and it tastes delicious!

    1. Hi Jackie, I think it would be best to freeze the tarts and curd separately then put them together before serving. I'm afraid the tarts would get soggy when they thaw with the curd thawing inside them.

  401. This is getting embarrassing . I'm well known in our community for making lemon curd, so, of course, I need the labels for that as well. I have a friend who gives me loads of meyer lemons every February. After all your fabulous recipes I've seen in the past week, I broke down and order a case (30) of half pint jars for my freezer jams and lemon curd. Thanks again.

  434. Hi Chris! This Lemon Curd recipe sounds SO easy! I have been wanting to make some for a while now, but never found a recipe I liked. Since we've moved to the country from the city, we seem to get supplied with lemons and limes, and being one to never knock them back, we end up with heaps and besides baking cakes and flavouring our water, they end up going off. But I'm definitely going to try out this recipe! And wow as a bonus you have offered the label for the jars! So would you mind sending these to me? Thank you so much! God Bless!

So glad I did because it came out great! I did use 3 yolks and 2 whole eggs because that’s how many yolks I had left from a different recipe and I figured it would be OK. Two for two on this site so I will be giving more recipes from here a try for sure. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

    thank you and your husband for pouring so much love & talent into this beautiful website! I would also appreciate the cute labels for this lusious lemon delight! Thank you so much!

  578. Tried your recipe after using peels for limoncello. Had lots of meyer lemon juice to use, and I also have my own farm fresh eggs daily. The perfect recipe for me. Amazingly simple, and delicious!!
    I'll be gifting some jars of this sunshine to some very lucky people!! And yes, please may I have access to those labels?

  580. I have made your microwave lemon curd and after years of making it on the stove I was absolutely delighted with the result, it produced the most incredible smooth, thick lush lemon curd, thank you so much
    If possible I would like to ask for your lemon curd labels, I think it will add a nice touch to my pots
    Thank you

  584. Chris, made your Ridiculously Easy Lemon Curd today. You're right it is very easy. I have a question though - I cooked my lemon curd until my candy thermometer read 175 degrees. When I did a final stir, it was full of cooked egg pieces. I did strain it and that helped but I wonder,
    I didn't let my eggs come to room temp. Would the cold eggs have helped to cause the overwhelming amount of cooked egg in my final lemon curd? I re-read the recipe and didn't see room temp eggs specified. Any other thoughts on my problem??? I'll try it again for sure; would like to be more sure I won't repeat the egg problem. Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Hi Susan, I haven't had any problem with the eggs scrambling and I don't bring them to room temperature. I'm wondering if perhaps, you have a very powerful microwave that cooks quickly. I know my microwave is not super powerful. I might try making the lemon curd next time on level 8 or 9 and see if that helps. I will take a little longer but you might avoid the eggs scrambling.

      Reply

      1. I will try your suggestion Chris and I think I'll make a note on my recipe to try the room temp eggs to, just in case. It was
        worth the extra trouble of straining it. I made the lemon shortbread tart this morning and it was delicious. Thanks for your reply.

  616. Hi there!

    A friend of mine owned a tea room serving "high tea" in the late 1990's and I would help out when they got really busy. I learned to make lemon curd from her in a double boiler. It always turned out perfect. About a year ago I downsized and with it gave away the double boiler. Lately, after all these years I have been thinking about Lemon Curd and why I gave the double boiler away. I was so happy to find your recipe to make it in the microwave! I will order the cute little jars (thank you for the links!). If you could send me a link to your pdf for the labels I would appreciate it. By the way what do you print the labels on? I have never done that but what a great gift idea! Thank you so much!

    Reply

  617. This is an awesome and easy recipe, so delicious! I’ve made many batches, and over time I have made a few changes for my tastes. I put extra lemon zest in to up the lemony tang. I add a small amount of lemon extract for enhanced lemon flavor. And lastly, I put only half the sugar stated in the recipe. This lemon curd is amazingly good, and I eat a bit here and there on something, or just from a spoon😋😋.

  618. Loved the taste, it was easy, and I’m so glad you included the tip of what to do if it got lumpy- my microwaveable Pyrex bowl was hot, and went on cooking the curd, turning the silky smooth into not! Next time I’ll stop sooner, or decant the product to cool in another container.

I made it but usually had to get out a strainer to get the lumps out. We ate it on angel food cake with strawberries, and Mama used it as a filling for while cake with seven minute icing (now that was a labor of love). I can't wait to try this and would appreciate the labels. Where do you get the cute jars? It will make wonderful gifts.

  675. Easy and amazing! I started by making the curd which was simple and delicious, then I made the lemon poppyseed cake and still had enough left to make the tart.
    Both were great but the tart was next level great app tasted like it came from a French pastry shop!

    1. Thanks so much, Jen, for sharing your review. I'm so happy that you've enjoyed these recipes!

  676. Wow! So simple! My husband and I absolutely love lemon so when I received this recipe I starred and saved it until I could make it. I did finally make it this past weekend. I only put in half the amount of sugar the recipe calls for because we prefer less sugary sweetness and I also added 1 tsp of lemon bakery emulsion to really kick up the lemon flavor. Other than that, cooking the curd in the microwave was super simple. I chilled the lemon curd overnight and when we ate it the next day it was amazing! In fact now that the first batch has been consumed I'm going to make another batch today. My husband declared this the best recipe EVER! So thank you very much!

  677. You've done it again! You've taken a recipe that I made for years and sold in farmers market as "the best lemon curd ever" and made it so easy. Of course I had to make the lemon curd shortbread tart also--- melt in your mouth delicious! You never fail to deliver a recipe that is a winner.

  680. Would love a copy of those labels! Super cute! Just made it today... so easy and delicious!! I accidentally put the zest in before microwaving- still turned out perfect! It's such a chore to sit over the stove and babysit the curd... this is much simpler! 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe! This will go well with your ridiculously easy scones too!

  681. Perfect timing. Here we are quarantined and needing something to brighten our day. Well, THIS WAS IT!! I had some beautiful organic lemons and in no time at all had three delightful Weck jars filled!! It was so easy and I will be able to share with others who are stuck inside. I think we will have to change that old saying about turning lemons into curd instead of lemonade!! I will make more. And I would love the labels when you find time. Enjoy your day and I hope everybody keeps well.

    1. Haha! I much rather have lemon curd than lemonade any day! Thanks so much for sharing your review. I'm so happy that this recipe could brighten your day in the middle of this difficult time, Judi! I'll send you the labels now!

  683. I love lemon curd but there are no lemons where I am presently living. However, we do have passion fruit. I bought four Friday not knowing what I was going to do with them. I now have some beautiful golden yellow passion fruit curd cooling on the counter. So easy and so good. Thank you for the recipe. Please send the PDF for the labels. Once borders open and planes are flying I'll be back in the land of lemons.

    From another Cris. A friend shared this site with me...I am so thankful she did.
    I have not made your recipe but I love Lemon Curd and will be trying it very soon.

  688. I haven't made this yet, but I will today. I do want to thank you for including the internal temperature. I wish other food bloggers would do the same because it eliminates guess work and the finished baked goods etc. are always perfect. Especially with Cheesecakes; I never did understand what this meant: "cake is done when it jiggles in the center". "Jiggles" isn't a very scientific way to decide if baked or not. Internal temperature is. Once again, THANKS. So glad I discovered your website.

    2. How much whipped cream should you use for the lemon mousse and how much of the lemon curd should be put in?

      1. Hi Franziska, I would go with 2/3 lemon curd and 1/3 whipped cream for a light (not in calories!) and flavorful mousse.

  727. I have made lemon curd using my mama's "old fashioned" recipe and, although it is delicious, it's a bit of work, not counting having to push it through a strainer to get the lumps out as needed. I can't wait to try this. It will make a perfect spring gift for my friends. I will appreciate the lovely labels on the jars. Thank you for emailing them to me.

  752. Confused with the eggs. 5 eggs total = 3 eggs whites and yokes and two eggs yolk only. Please clarify. Thanks.

    Reply

    1. Thank you for noticing this. I see how it wasn't clear. I have clarified this in the recipe.

      You'll be using a total of 5 eggs but you'll have 2 egg whites leftover. So you'll use 3 whole eggs (whites and yolks) and 2 egg yolks. Discard the 2 extra whites or use them for something else.

    1. Hi Janet,
      Yes, you could use this curd for a lemon cream pie. And you you use the extra egg whites (that you don't use in this recipe) for a meringue if you wanted!

  756. Hi Chris, I'm confused on the eggs. So am I using 5 eggs total with 3 yolks and then I end up with 3 egg whites to use in another recipe? Thank you.

    1. So sorry that wasn't clear. My recipe program goofed up a bit as did the recipe programmer! I have clarified it now. You will use a total of 5 eggs, 3 whole eggs (whites and yolks) and 2 egg yolks (discard the whites or use them for something else).
