How Do You Thicken Orange Curd?
To thicken orange curd, you can add more egg yolks or cook the curd for a longer time. The egg yolks act as a natural thickener, so adding an extra yolk or two can help thicken the curd. Alternatively, cooking the curd for a longer time over low heat can also help it thicken. Be sure to continuously stir the curd to prevent it from sticking and burning to the bottom of the pan. Another option is to add a small amount of cornstarch or flour dissolved in water to the curd, but this may affect the flavor and texture.
