So then you've had lemon curd with pastry on the bottom of it and
meringue on the top of it. A lemon pie filling is a type of lemon curd. A
type that has firmed up due to cooking. (Not sure about the weight
watcher's version though.)

Making lemon curd allows the making of lemon pies or tarts easier plus
gives you the option of something different to spread on your toast or
muffin in the morning or spread between the layers of a multi-layer cake
or fill a jam buster or even eat with a spoon. Good stuff! Personally,I
like the tarter versions of lemon curd.

Even nice spread on pound cake.
