which lemon curd recipe?

I baked a white cake and I want to make lemon curd to put between the layers. I'll frost it with whipped cream and sprinkle coconut on it.

Which recipe for lemon curd would you use? The one that calls for a cup of lemon juice sounds like it might make your toes curl, but I don't know.

#1 Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

3 large egg yolks, strained

Zest of 1/2 lemon

1/4 cup lemon juice

6 tablespoons sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces

or

#2

For lemon curd

2 1/3 cups sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 cup fresh lemon juice

4 large eggs

4 large egg yolks

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Do you have a better recipe? Thanks.
