Summer days, ask for citrus

With the heat I left aside complicated  dishes, which moreover are not my thing. I love easy meals, simple and tasty.

It's time to go outside and enjoy the weather. Chatting with friends or taking walks and it´s time to drink some refreshment and cooking light meals, as well

And to these days nothing more refreshing than a lemonade and citrus-based desserts.


I always have a wildcard in the refrigerator that inspires me to make the most delicious and refreshing dessert. Lemon curd.

With it you can let loose the imagination and do something like this.


Press in papaya wafers , topping with lemon curd, fresh fruits, whipped cream and chocolate chips. 


It is very useful to have at home some lemon curd, and remember it can always be stored for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
