Vegan Lemon Curd on Lemon & Poppyseed Muffins.
As a child my mum & I would often share a sweet treat of Lemon Curd sandwiches, on the freshest white bread my mum would heap a dollop of lemon curd, sandwich together and trim off the crusts. Even now I will often indulge in this childish treat.
After finding this recipe I just had to try it out, I love baking & poppy seeds so this combination is just perfect.
