      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

The recipe above is the same for Lemon Curd or Orange Curd. I have put both in the ingredients list. However if making Orange Curd, if you have small Oranges use 4 for the zest. If large Orange is used then 2 is sufficient.

This is a really creamy curd and can be dolloped in tart cases, buttercream for cakes, stir through vanilla ice cream or vanilla yoghurt.

  • I have just made this orange curd. Problems zest...

    Submitted by millthumpian on 7. January 2018 - 11:51.

    I have just made this orange curd. Problems zest is way too much, it’s presenting as uncooked grainy mouthfeel for the zest, it’s much too sweet and looks overcooked and that’s before before zapping the mix at 90°. It’s thick and looks lumpy because of the overcooking probably. As egg white cooks at 80° this is probably the issue. Needs a better balance of acid to sweet imho. Sorry to give this a negative review but it just didn’t work for me
