We used this as the filling along with fresh sliced strawberries between layers of lemon cake. We haven't even cut the cake yet, and the kids have been in the kitchen asking for spoonfulls of this filling! (and I have snuck a few myself) I agree with other posters that this isnt a frosting or icing, but it is absolutely delicious! we saved the rest to spread on some raspberry scones tomorrow :P YUM!

this was used as a filling and top layer of the Raspberry Cake. easy to make and it has a great, not too sugary, flavor.

The description of this is very misleading in that it is a lemon filling, or lemon curd, not a frosting. Having said that, this has a more mellow lemon flavor than other, similar recipes, but is also much richer, which I liked since I used it as as the filling for the three layer Rainbow Citrus Cake, also from this site. In hindsight I'd add two or three teaspoons of lemon zest for more tartness and flavor, but it really was fine as is.

What a delightful surprise! This is one of those hidden gems. I followed the recipe but reduced the sugar to 1 cup, which was perfect for me. I would highly recommend using this as a filling for lemon meringue pie. It sets up nicely. :-)

This is typically known as "lemon curd." You can find recipes for it in many cookbooks. It is not a frosting but a filling that is used between cake layers or in little pastry tarts. It is also used as an ingredient in other recipes, usually desserts. Mixed with whipped cream, it makes a fluffy dessert.

Superb! This makes a wonderful lemon filling or glaze, I wouldn't describe it as a frosting. I followed the recipe exactly, no changes needed. Lots of lemon flavor! Thick and smooth consistency. This is a keeper!

Pretty tasty. I made it on yellow cupcakes and then I topped it with whipped cream and a sliced strawberry on each one.

Very good!! I replaced 1/4C of the water with an additional 1/4C lemon juice and added an additional 1TBS of cornstarch so it would make a nice, thick filling for my white cake. I frosted it with homemade whipped cream--delicious combo!! Thank you for this recipe!

I thought I was in big trouble - had been doing a massive amount of baking and had miscounted how many eggs I required. Substituted a half cup of lemon yogurt and it worked. No one suspected a thing and it topped my Greek Lemon Cake beautifully.

I didn't like this at all. It was much to eggy for a frosting, my family and I thought it was terrible.

This Filling/Icing is AMAZING. It is very easy, and soo good! It is a little sweet but very Delicious! Like another poster said, it is like meringue. I used it as an icing for my butter cake, and it was Great!

This was great. Very easy to make. I used as a filling on a 9x13 layered, silver white cake and used vanilla frosting on top and then added some more of the lemon cream on top. It was very good! I did have some left over, I guess I could have used more on the filling. Everyone loved it.
