Lemon curd brownies

The ultimate brownie recipe for lemon dessert lovers !

I am a big fan of the texture of white chocolate brownies bur I sometimes find them a bit more boring in flavour not going to lie. That’s why I’ve upgraded them by adding lemon curd so they have a fresh and citrousy flavour that is perfect for this spring wheather 😍
