Raspberry Curd (The Best Recipe!)
Raspberry Curd is a simple recipe with many uses, and the perfect way to use up extra egg yolks and fresh or frozen raspberries.

Creating this Raspberry Curd
I must admit that I didn’t think that this curd was going to be spectacular. With my first bite of a buttery English muffin spread with this lovely red curd, I was sold.
The fat from the butter and egg yolks mellows out the sourness of the raspberries without adding heaps of sugar. But it doesn’t mask it completely – that pleasant tanginess still lingers.
You can eat this stuff with a spoon (which my husband does).
I can imagine many uses for this pretty condiment: spread on toast, scones, or biscuits, or as an ice cream topping. Or, my favorite, with a cup of tea and English muffin.
Now I know what I should make with all of the raspberries we have in the freezer.

How to Separate Eggs for Raspberry Curd
Since you’ll only need egg yolks to make this recipe for raspberry curd, you’ll want to check out the quick video attached to this post to learn how to separate egg yolks from the egg whites if you don’t already know how to do this.
If you previously made a recipe that uses egg whites only, raspberry curd is a great reason to save those egg yolks.
You can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days until you’re able to make this raspberry curd recipe.

Tools Needed to Make this Raspberry Curd Recipe
You’ll want to have a few kitchen tools on hand to make this recipe, though most of them are pretty common and hopefully something you already have in your kitchen.
- Heavy-bottomed saucepan β You do NOT want the raspberry curd to burn on the bottom of the pan. A heavy duty medium saucepan is best for even heat distribution. Make sure you use a non-reactive saucepan.
- Citrus juicer β Citrus juicers are the best way to easily juice citrus fruits.
- Fine-Mesh Strainer β the fine mesh strainer will allow you to strain the seeds out of the raspberry puree.
- Whisk β I like to use a wire whisk to stir the raspberry curd while it cooks on the stove.
- Mason Jar β Mason jars are great for storing leftover raspberry curd in the fridge, but any airtight container with a lid will do.

How to Make Raspberry Curd
Raspberry curd might sound fancy, but the really dangerous thing about this recipe is that it’s super easy to make.
Mostly, you’re just going to be putting all of the ingredients in a pot, and cooking until thickened, then stirring in some room temperature butter. Afterwards, you’ll strain to remove the seeds.
The above is simply a quick summary of this recipe. Check out the full recipe in the free printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for all the detailed instructions.

How to Know When this Fruit Curd is Done Cooking
This raspberry curd should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon when it is finished cooking.
A quick way to test that is to dip a spoon in the curd, then run your finger through the curd on the back of the spoon. If the line remains, then your raspberry curd is finished cooking!
Can I Use Frozen Raspberries in this Recipe?
You can use fresh or thawed frozen berries to make this raspberry curd.
When using frozen raspberries, remove the raspberries from the container and discard any excessive ice crystals that may be accumulated in the bag, then let the raspberries thaw in a bowl.
You’ll want to use any raspberry juice that comes from thawing the raspberries just not water that would come from large ice crystals (these can form if your berries have been in the freezer for a while or they were not properly sealed).

How to Store Leftover Raspberry Curd
This raspberry curd should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to one week.
I like to press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the curd before putting the lid on the container. This helps prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the raspberry curd.

Can You Freeze This Recipe?
I’ve had a few questions about if this raspberry curd recipe can be frozen. The answer is: Yes!
Raspberry Curd will last for approximately 3 months when frozen. Here’s how to freeze it:
- First, cool the cooked raspberry curd completely.
- Once cooled to room temperature, place the raspberry curd in a freezer-safe container.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the curd.
- Then, seal the container with the lid.
- Make sure you label the container with the contents and date before transferring it to the freezer.
To thaw frozen raspberry curd:
Place the container of frozen raspberry curd in the refrigerator to thaw. I recommend doing this the day before you plan to use it.

Hi David,
I wanted to take a moment to respond to your recent feedback on my website. For your reference, if you donβt recall your feedback, it was as follows: Screen obscured 60% due to ads. So many of these recipe sites are honeypots to get ad revenue.
If by this you mean a one woman operation who creates, tests, photographs, and writes all of these recipes at no charge to you yet at the cost of thousands per year on my end just to keep the website online, then yes I do use this recipe site as a means to get ad revenue. This website is my job and the income I earn supports my family.
If you find the ads too intrusive, there is a handy button slightly under the recipe title that reads βJump to Recipeβ which will take you straight to the recipe and allow you to skip all of the educational content along with the ads. From there you can click βprint recipeβ and print the recipe without any ads or additional information for your records to keep. All at no charge to you. I hope this informations makes for a more enjoyable user experience for you. If you are unable to find the button, let me know. I am happy to send you a tutorial on how to locate it.
Have a nice day!

Andrea says
@Katie, Just wanted to heart this reply. Also, I made the raspberry curd last night and it’s beautiful
Katie says
Thank you so much for your support Andrea! I’m glad you liked the raspberry curd!
Noah says
Do you think I could substitute another Berry with the same texture, for the Raspberries? Like, say Blackberries
Katie says
I haven’t tried that yet but I don’t see why not. Let me know how the experiment goes!
Karissa Garr says
Do you think I could make this dairy free by substituting coconut oil for the butter?
Katie says
In this recipe: Coconut Lemon Curd, I used part butter and part coconut oil, but I’ve never used all coconut oil in a curd recipe. It would probably work, but it would definitely have a coconut taste to it. If you do try it, let me know how it goes so I can include that in the post for anyone else who would like to make it dairy-free.
Ginny says
@Katie, I believe refined coconut oil is available, which would eliminate the coconut flavor of the unrefined version. π
PS: great comeback to the snarky comment about the ads. Even though many of us don’t like to scroll through ads, it’s a necessary evil to keep a site up and running at an affordable price.
Katie says
Thanks so much, Ginny!
molly says
hi, how do i prevent the eggs from scrambling in my curd?

Hi, beat the eggs first before adding to the pan, then when mixing in mix with a whisk to beat the mixture together. Then, using a whisk to stir stirring frequently while cooking will prevent this.

Hi! I would like to put this curd in between cookies like macarons or alfajores do you think it would be too runny and in need of a buttercream fence or would the curd be just fine on it’s own and not run out of the sides? Also would it be okay use already pureed raspberries instead of the frozen ones? Thanks for the lovely recipe!
Katie says
Hi, I would do a fence just to be safe so you don’t have any leakage. Also if you refrigerate the curd before using it as a filling it will be thicker than it will when it is warm. Yes, I think using pureed raspberries would be fine

I want to make this curd and layer it in a geometric entremet cake. I need it to be really thick, so Iβm thinking of adding gelatin to it. Any idea when I would add the gelatin powder?
Katie says
Usually gelatin needs to be dissolved in a bit of liquid before adding to a recipe, I believe. I don’t have a ton of experience with gelatin. But I would guess to dissolve in a portion of the lemon juice and then stir that in when adding the other ingredients and making sure it is fully distributed in the curd before chilling. Sorry for my delay in reply. Let me know how your experiment goes! π
Julie says
@Katie,
The gelatin needs to be bloomed in liquid (not lemon juice as it will affect the gelling potential ) in liquid and the when fully hydrated it should either be liquified in the microwave (donβt go above 140 degrees) or stored I to something hot (but not bitter than 140 degrees). Overheating and too much acid can affect the gel. Hydrating powdered gelatin and sheet gelatin are a different process.
Racquel says
Hi there! Just curious, is there a reason why it needs to be thawed raspberries vs. fresh raspberries? Thanks a lot!!Β
Katie says
You can use fresh as well if you like. The reason for “thawed” when using frozen berries is to make sure there isn’t extra liquid added due to any ice crystals that have accumulated on the berries.
Karen Leeanne says
As soon as I read your recipe I went straight to the kitchen and made it! And it was already almost midnight at that time so it’s safe to say I found it very motivating!! It came out delicious and now I’m tucked up in bed looking forward to raspberry curd on toast for breakfast π
FYI.. I didn’t wait for the berries to defrost and it still worked perfectly. Just a few extra minutes to cook
Teags says
I want to make this, but what i’m looking for is a curd with some real punch. It will be going in the middle of mud cupcakes with a chocolate mousse buttercream on top so I really want it to cut through all that chocolate. Do you think this would do that, or should I possibly add just half a cup of sugar?
Erica Lea | Buttered Side Up says
If I remember correctly, this was uber tart. So if that’s the flavor you’re going for, you might want to reduce the sugar.
Erica Lea | Buttered Side Up says
Oops, I meant *wasn’t uber tart. π
Helen says
How long will it keep? And, could it be preserved using some sort of canning method? Thanks π
Erica Lea | Buttered Side Up says
I’m not sure how long it will last in the refrigerator, but I would think at least a week. And I’ve seen cans of lemon curd for sale, so I’m sure it could be done at home as well!
Janet says
I usually thaw my raspberries blend them in a blender then press them through a sieve. The seeds drive me nuts but I love raspberry sauce with yogurt. If I start with 12 oz of raspberry and de-seed before I mix with the rest of the ingredients do you think it will still turn out alright?
Erica Lea | Buttered Side Up says
I’m sure it would work to de-seed them first, but you run the curd through a sieve anyway which gets rid of the seeds. Hope you enjoy!
Gill Hopkins says
I want to make this recipe but 3/4 of WHAT of evaporated cane or granulated sugar? I’m guessing cup or lb but I need to know which?
Erica Lea | Buttered Side Up says
Oops, sorry! Yes, it’s 3/4 CUP. π Hope you enjoy!
