I have to say that these Thermomix Lemon Curd Cupcakes are one of my favourite things ever. Not only do they taste delicious - you can also make your own lemon curd in the Thermomix in no time at all!!
If you haven't made lemon curd in the Thermomix yet, you absolutely must! It's so simple and tastes great. Plus you can use it in LOTS of different recipes... including of course, our cupcakes! It really is a great way to use up any extra lemons you have lying around.
These simple vanilla cupcakes filled with lemon curd filling are perfect for birthday parties, high teas or baby showers... in fact, you really don't need any excuse at all to make a batch!
