📝 Preparation Steps
1
Lemon Curd
2
Grate the zest of the lemons, then juice them. Place the zest in a bain-marie or double boiler. Pour the juice through a strainer into the bain-marie, add the sugar, then stir to combine. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the bowl.
3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and the additional yolk with a fork. Gently heat the butter, sugar and lemon mix in the bain-marie or double boiler until the butter has just melted then add the beaten eggs.

Cook for 10–⏱️ 12 minutes, stirring with a silicone spatula until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. A line drawn with a finger through the mixture on the spatula should remain visible for several seconds.
5
Pour the lemon curd into a storage container and leave to cool in the refrigerator. Extra lemon curd can be served with berries, over yogurt, or on biscuits.

Ice Pops
7
Pour the cream into a small saucepan, then add the agar agar. Mix with a hand whisk and bring to a boil over medium–low heat. Cook for ⏱️ 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Pour the warm cream into a bowl, add the yogurt, and stir to combine.
8
In a separate bowl, mix half the measured lemon curd with one-third of the cream and yogurt mixture.
9
Pour a layer of the plain cream and yogurt mixture into the base of each ice-pop bar mold, followed by a layer of the lemon curd mixture. Continue alternating the two mixtures until the molds are almost filled. Ripple the remaining lemon curd through the surface of each ice pop. Insert a wooden ice-pop stick into each mold.
10
Transfer the ice-pop molds to the freezer and chill for ⏱️ 6 hours or until frozen. To unmold, dip one ice-pop mold at a time into boiling water for ⏱️ 20 seconds, then remove the ice pop from the mold by gently pulling on the stick. Serve immediately.
