Does anyone know if lemon curd is ok to eat when you're preggers? I'm a little dubious because it's made with raw eggs, but does anyone have more info? I love it and really, really want to make some but only if I can eat it too!

Thanks for the help - and recipes! It's not really 'made' with raw eggs the same way mayo is, but they're not exactly hard boiled either so I just wanted to be 100% sure. Yum!

I was wondering this just the other day.
I'm pretty sure I was told no lemon curd. Then I was wondering if the commercial ones used pasteurised egg - in which case it'd be ok.
I bet it's one of the ones you've got to eat within a few days of opening though.

All lemon curd recipes will cook the egg - just the same as custard does
