Do you refrigerate lemon curd?

[matchaberry]

Hey all! I made up some lemon curd and now I'm wondering if should I refrigerate it. Some say yes to prolong shelf life, others argue it's fine at room temp. Any thoughts? What's your go-to practice?

Refrigerating lemon curd is the safest bet to prolong its shelf life due to its ingredients like eggs and butter. While some leave it at room temperature for short periods, I prefer refrigeration for freshness and safety. Enjoy your lemon treat!

Poppin them on your fridge will help preserve the freshness and flavor of the lemon curd for a longer period. Storing it at room temperature may cause it to degrade more quickly.

Yes, it's best to refrigerate lemon curd to prolong its shelf life. It helps maintain its freshness and prevents bacterial growth.
