The ease of this recipe for me was what earned it the 3 stars, but I was disappointed with the taste. Mine was WAY too tart, even after adding another 1/2 cup of sugar. Perhaps my lemons were just too tart, as they came fresh from a neighbor's tree and not the grocery store. I also added a little slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken it and left it in the fridge overnight to get the consistency that I wanted. Even though the taste was not what I was looking for, I am willing to try this again.

I *LOVE* lemon anything and this was fantastic and so easy! I used it to fill mini tart shells and topped with fresh raspberries, put it on toast, dipped homemade graham crackers in it, mixed it with whipped cream and topped a slice of un-frosted cake....it is a seriously dangerous recipe! It is a true keeper!

This was so easy and delicious. I mixed some with cream cheese for a firmer tart filling and topped with fresh berries. Wow!

Thank you so much for such an easy and tasty recipe! I had the curd made before the jars could finish sterilising - all without having to improvise a double boiler! Yay!

Mine took about 3 mins to cook. I tried this recipe two times before and over cooked it (it was horrible) this time I read through a few reviews to see if any one else had timing issue and since most peoples were done around 2 to three mins thats what I went with. I made a lime curd. It was delish! Good recipe you just have to figure out the time of your own microwave.

This had a very nice taste but never firmed up after cooling so I reheated and added some cornstarch mixed with lemon juice and brought it to a boil. after cooling it was perfect.

This is easy and delicious!! I cut this recipe by a third and didn't add any zest and this was amazing!! I didn't temper the egg and it was smooth and tart and not too sweet. It firmed up quite a bit after about an hour. I highly recommend this recipe.

Hmm, when I made this it ended up having a grainy texture, was a little thin for my liking, and not sweet enough. I think I am going to stick with the stovetop method.

This recipe is awesome. I cut the recipe to '11' servings cause I didn't want to make as much as the original. with this amount, I needed 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of butter, and 2/3 cup + 1 teaspoon of sugar, and same measurement for lemon Juice which for me turned out to be 2 nice plump lemons. Two lemons was also what it took to get the right amount of grated peel. I put it in the microwave for one minute at a time, and stirred briskly after each minute...for a total of 5 minutes. It firmed up completely in the fridge. I waited overnight until I tasted it since another reviewer had commented that it tasted 'eggy' if eaten too soon. Well...it was absolutely delicious!!! It is true that it is as yummy as any gourmet lemon curd that you may have paid big bucks for (pardon the grammer). I decided to create a gourmet flavor for my home-made yogurt so I added a huge dolop of it to my 'berry' yogurt and it was out of this world. So thank you for a wonderful recipe! I agree with another reviewer that if you don't like the grated lemon feeling in your mouth, you may want to get lemon peels into the curd that can be removed when you serve it.

Definitely easy to do. I used mine for a cake filling and it did not seem firm enough. The cake kind of absorbed the curd. I also thought it was a little on the greasy side. Meaning it had a greasy mouth feel after eating it. So I guess the word is "too buttery". I may try this technique with other recipes. If you know someone who has a Meyer Lemon tree, it is worth it to try and get your hands on some them.

I've made this several times now and it always come out perfectly. It is so easy doing it in the microwave and SO much cheaper than buying lemon curd in a jar. Try it with the simple scones from this site. YUMMY!!!

This was so easy to make. It took a little longer then the recipes calls for. Every minute i would take it out and stir. I served it with a pound cake for a b-day and everyone loved it.

This was an exceptional recipe! One of the best I've found on the site. Very easy and absolutely delicious! I made it to give away in Christmas baskets, but as soon as my husband tasted it, he refused to let me give it away (I have yet to sneak any out of the house to let family taste.) I didn't change a thing about the recipe; it was perfect as is and extremely lemony and creamy.

What an easy recipe! I was watching "Whatever, Martha" tonight, and they were talking about lemon curd. I started getting hungry for it and decided to make it. I looked it up here and found this easy microwave recipe. I used Real Lemon juice instead of lemons, and I used no lemon zest. But I did use the rest of the ingredients. It came out great! It tastes like it took a lot more time to make. I lost track of how many times I took it out of the microwave, stirred it, then put it back in again. I think it was about 6 minutes that this took. I highly recommend this recipe!
