To make the curd; add the lemon juice, zest, eggs, sugar and butter into a heat resistant bowl.
Place the bowl over another larger saucepan that is filled with water. Bring to a gentle boil whisking all of the time. Make sure not to overheat as it will begin to curdle.
Remove the curd from the heat once it has started to thicken and coats the back of a spoon with ease. Set aside to cool.
