Elegant Meyer Lemon Curd Puffs steal the show on any table. Top with a fresh sliced strawberry. An easy to make dessert your family and guests will love!
Here’s a trick to get a beautiful shell to fill every time. Use a donut cutter.

Leave the “hole” in place and bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes until golden brown and flaky.

When cool, gently remove a layer of the center and voila! You have a nifty shell that’s ready to fill!

Now I promised this would be easy. So on to the scary part. Lemon curd.
There are so many techniques out there for making curd. Some involve boiling and straining then adding butter. Others have you temp the egg and strain and chill and stir and on and on.
I found the easiest way to make a smooth, thick lemon curd is to keep stirring and the control the heat. I periodically take the pot off the burner and let the residual heat cook it a bit. It takes a bit longer, all of about 10 minutes total but it’s worth it.
