Lemon Curd for Macarons
Using the lemon macaron filling recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as reference, I came up with a sweet and sour version using less sugar and lemon juice. Mr. Herme's "Macaron" book is an indispensable macaron bible!
Use the freshest eggs you can find.
While using the double boiler, be absolutely sure to keep mixing with the whisk. (Be careful not to let the egg turn into scrambled eggs.) It will take a while for it to get to a loose custard-like consistency. So, slowly mix well over low heat. Recipe by yukoz1

Homemade lemon curd is outta this world! It’s sweet, tangy, and creamy, and instantly makes so many baked goods better. (I’m looking at you, scones!)This recipe is easy, but it does take a little bit of time and you need to babysit it during the cooking process!I ended up using this curd as filling in a cake. Stay tuned for the cake recipe!#Filling #Dessert #Citrus #Sweet

I love this stuff, and since I made two pavlovas today...one of them burnt!... I had eight egg yolks leftover. Never one to throw food in the bin I made a big jar of lemon curd. Yummy childhood memories right here. Nice on fresh bread or with whipped cream in a sponge cake :-)

Lemon Macarons with Italian Meringue Lemon Macarons with Italian Meringue
Using the recipe from Pierre Herme's book "Macaron" as a base, I added a few detailed steps so that no one will fail making this. This is a recipe which I made many times with many trials and errors, to make the ideal macaroon as imagined by Pierre Herme.●If you use fresh eggs, the shell might crack or will not have a "pied" or "foot", so make sure to use old eggs.●For making Italian meringue, the keys are the temperature of the syrup and when to add it to the egg white. When adding the syrup, add little at a time, but whip up quickly! The meringue will harden if you are too slow. For 12 pieces of 4 cm [1.6 in] macarons. Recipe by yukoz1

I was inspired by my friend who loved french Macarons, (not the coconut type). The colors are so attractive, the flavors are delicious. There's barely any ingredients, but it has to be made just right or else they bomb. karenandcamden
