hi hun going to look for the lemon curd recipe can't remember offhand x

 

[valerie11]

3 heaped dessert spoons of sweetner
1 lemon, juiced and rind grated
2 large eggs
2oz virtually/fat free fromage frais

Method:
1. Mix the sweetner and lemon rind together in a small-ish glass bowl (small enough to fit into a pan of boiling water later)​

2. Mix the eggs and lemon juice together then add to the sweetner and rind mixtue​

3. Put glass bowl over water in a pan and heat gently for about 10 minutes ​

4. Whisk frequently until the mixture starts to thicken​

5. Once the mixture is fairly thick, add your fromage frais and mix in well.​

Tip: If desired, yellow food colouring can be added to make it look more 'lemon curd-ish'​

Variation:
Exchange the lemon for orange
and add a belgian chocolate Options sachet at the same time as the fromage frais. This could be a nice chocolate cake filling
