lemon cream

Tangy yellow custard

Lemon cream is a rich, smooth mixture of lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter, used as a filling or topping for pastries, cakes, and tarts.

The term often overlaps with lemon curd, though lemon cream may be lighter or incorporate dairy cream: The pavlova was topped with fresh berries and lemon cream.
