"Between their ooey-gooey softness and irresistible cinnamon sugar interior, there's a reason why cinnamon rolls are a perennial favorite amongst sweet-toothed breakfast lovers. Not only are they delicious, but they're also a time-tested classic with a familiar flavor profile that people know and love. That said, if you're feeling a little daring and want to give your cinnamon roll some zing, it may be time to add a little lemon curd into the mix."
"With its bright citrus tang and custardy richness, lemon curd adds a touch of lightness to the hearty doughiness of a cinnamon roll. Its summery zest will also shine through the spiced warmth of the cinnamon filling, while its custardy mouthfeel will perfectly complement the pastry's pillowy texture. And the best part is you don't have to be a baker to try this out."
"While there are lots of unexpected fillings you can add to your cinnamon rolls, swapping out your traditional cinnamon sugar mix for lemon curd is a great way to give your rolls some extra punch. To add even more lemon-y goodness to your next bake, consider making straight-up lemon curd rolls. It's as easy as taking your favorite cinnamon roll recipe ( we have a good one here) and substituting cinnamon sugar for lemon curd."
Bright citrus tang and custardy richness of lemon curd lightens the hearty doughiness of cinnamon rolls and complements the spiced warmth of the cinnamon filling. The custardy mouthfeel pairs with the pastry's pillowy texture. Lemon curd can be spread over warm store-bought rolls to upgrade them without baking. For baking, substitute lemon curd for the traditional cinnamon sugar filling to make lemon curd rolls. Simple toppings include a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar or a lemon-juice-enhanced glaze. A lemon cream cheese frosting is made by whipping lemon juice, zest, and cream cheese until fluffy, then blending in confectioners' sugar to smooth before spreading.
