Lemon cream curd (Lemon curd)

Lemon curd is one of the classic custards that uses fruit juice, in this case lemon juice, instead of milk. It can be used with toast, as a filling in tarts, cakes, etc. The cream turns out to be quite dense, and after standing in the refrigerator gains a good structure. In addition, it has a very bright and cheerful color, which is very useful in damp and cold autumn.
