lemon curd in the Thermomix

My Mum recently asked me if I had any lemons... or could use any. Yes please! So I filled a reusable shopping bag to the brim. Ok. I admit. I may have grabbed more. She had bucket loads!

Then I had this dream about lemon curd. So I did my research across the 'net and found a few I liked then got brave and combined them.

This is yummy with fresh fruit!
