I added 1 Tbsp crème fraiche mixed with 1 Tbsp of my Keto lemon curd

HELPFUL HINTS:
* To save time or if I don’t have fresh lemons on hand, the bottled pure organic lemon juice is a life saver (I use Santa Cruz or Lakewood brands) : https://amzn.to/3f9uBI3
* If I use the bottled lemon juice, I will add a few drops of lemon extract, which mimics the flavor of lemon zest
