Heaven, I'm in Heaven: Lemon Cream Spread
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

I have no idea why the thought popped into my head this morning to blend some lemon curd with some Take Control margarine, but I've learned to roll with these random food thoughts.

I toasted a slice of honey oat bread from my bread machine and spread some of this lemon cream spread on it and suddenly my taste buds were singing!

Just in case you have these two ingredients in your refrigerator and some whole grain toast that needs to be dressed up a little, here's the recipe.

Lemon Cream Spread

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Take Control Margarine (Promise), with 8 grams fat per tablespoon
2 tablespoons lemon curd (available in jars)

Directions:
1. Add margarine and lemon curd to small custard cup and stir together until blended.
2. Spread on toast or muffins!

Yield: 4 servings
