Description:

" Zesty lemon curd and a fat-free bakery cake come together in this simply

elegant dessert.

You might want to make extra lemon curd as it will keep for 2 weeks,

refrigerated. It makes a delicious topping for blueberry or strawberry frozen

yogurt and it is practically irresistible spread on muffins or scones. "
