To make the lemon curd, place the lemon zest and juice, sugar and butter into a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until the butter melts.
Whisk the eggs and egg yolk into the lemon mixture for 10 minutes, or until creamy.
Set aside to cool, stirring regularly.
