I've only made curd once and I use a recipe that called for only egg yolks. I see many more recipes that use the entire egg. What is the difference in taste and texture of the two? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea. I would love to know the difference the recipe I use is whole egg and its wonderful. Very thick and smooth and rich.

I have made lemon & orange curd only & they require only egg yolks. I have never seen a recipe with whole eggs.

I use Ina Garten's, which calls for 4 whole eggs and 3 egg yolks. I have no idea how the composition changes if you use either all whole or all yolks, but man oh man, her recipe is delicious.
