Microwave Lemon Curd

This Microwave Lemon Curd literally takes just minutes to make! It tastes awesome in your favorite lemon recipe or just plain on toast. 

Is there anything more summertime-ish than lemons?? Okay, maybe. But very few things beat the refreshing taste and fun-loving color! I love me a good lemon dessert. And this Microwave Lemon Curd is great in any recipe that calls for lemon curd! 

This past Sunday for Father’s Day, I made our Easy Lemon Tart and loved every second of it. The only problem is that it made a lot more than Zach and I and even the company that we had over could eat. Which left me with more than half a pan the next day. All alone. By myself. While Zach went to work. I’m sure you can see where this story is going. Let’s just say that after eating almost 3 pieces, I finally had to just dump the thing in the garbage. And pour ketchup all over it, because I’m not below picking yummy food out of the trash. #confessionsofsarah

My kid is obsessed with lemon, too. She willingly sucked on all the lemons she could get her hands on when making this lemon curd. In fact, this toast picture below wasn’t originally suppose to have a bite taken out of it. Addi got to it before I could stop her. She then ate three pieces of lemon curd toast for breakfast. Bottom line: We love lemon desserts in this house. And I don’t think it’s going to stop any time soon.
