When you think of holiday flavors, rich spices and warm desserts usually come to mind. But every holiday table needs a little brightness and that’s where our homemade Lemon Curd shines. Tangy, silky, and just the right amount of sweet, lemon curd is one of those versatile treats that instantly elevates everything it touches.
Whether you spread it on scones for brunch, swirl it into cake layers, or spoon it into mini tart shells, lemon curd brings a refreshing balance to the holiday season. At Happy Hippo Bakery, we make ours with simple, quality ingredients for a smooth, luscious curd that tastes like sunshine in a jar.
🌟 Why We Love Lemon Curd
Lemon curd is more than just a topping, it’s a little jar of magic. Unlike heavier spreads, it has a light, citrusy tang that cuts through the richness of holiday meals and desserts. It’s also endlessly versatile: serve it at breakfast, brunch, dessert, or even package it as a thoughtful holiday gift.
