Julie’s Vegan Lemon Curd
A delicious vegan lemon curd recipe perfect for filling cupcakes or spreading on toast.
When life hands you lemons…
in the form of a crate full from a neighbor’s overflowing backyard tree…what else can you do but make delicious vegan lemon cupcakes?
When you attempt a new vegan lemon cupcake recipe, rather than your tried-and-true, go-to vegan lemon cupcake recipe, and the vegan cupcakes come out looking like this:
What else can you do but use the Vegan Lemon Curd recipe that your chef friend Julie gave you, whip it up with some powdered sugar, and then fill those dippy cupcakes to the wrapper edges?
And then, just to make up for the new recipe, dippy, vegan lemon cupcake fail…
…pile them high with obnoxious amounts of blueberry buttercream frosting!
