To keep up with the fruity recipes theme, I decided to make this lemon curd
with raspberries and blueberries. This super flavorful dessert only has 174
calories per serving. Not bad for such a tasty and simple recipe.
Seriously, it took me just a few minutes to put this together, a few minutes
on the stove, then I put it in the fridge and served it once it was cold.
Looking at the pretty yellow glasses with the berries just makes me happy.
Once you’ve tried this recipe, you’ll never buy lemon curd from a jar again.
It’s that good, I promise.
