Is there anything more refreshing than the flavor of lemon curd?

It's no wonder that lemon desserts are so popular during the summer.

But since lemons are available year-round, you can make this crepe recipe anytime you need a little sunshine in your life!

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp of lemon zest
• ½ cup of fresh-squeezed lemon juice (4 to 6 lemons)
• 1½ cups of granulated sugar
• ½ tsp of salt
• 6 tbsp of butter
• 3 eggs
• Fresh lemon slices, optional for garnish
• Whipped cream, optional for garnish
• 8 dessert crepes


How to Make Lemon Curd:

Whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes. Next, add butter to lemon mixture. Stir together until butter melts. Remove mixture from heat and let cool to room temperature (about 20 minutes).

In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly. Add to lemon mixture until well blended. Return to heat and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats spoon. Do not let mixture boil.

Remove mixture from heat. Pour curd through a fine sieve into a bowl. Place a sheet of plastic over the top to keep a skin from forming. Chill until set.

Yield: 2 cups, enough to fill 8 crepes

Assemble crepes: Lay first crepe flat on a serving dish. Spread ¼ cup of curd across crepe. Fold in half, and then in quarters. Repeat with remaining crepes. Before serving, top each crepe with a dollop of whipped cream and a twist of lemon.
