Servings: 13 Servings (About 1 ⅔ cups)
Calories: 103kcal
Equipment
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1-2 Lemons
- 1 cup Allulose ¾ cup if using a cup-for-cup sugar substitute
- 3 Large Egg Yolks
- 1 Large Egg
- 6 tablespoon Salted Butter Chilled and cut into pieces.
Instructions
- Zest the lemons.
- Add the zest and sugar substitute to your mini food processor, blitz until zest is finely chopped and well incorporated in the sugar. Note: See post for details on skipping this step.
- Juice your lemon(s), measuring out ⅓ cup of the juice.
- In a small pot, whisk together egg yolks, large egg, and lemon sugar until well combined. Add the ⅓ cup of juice, whisk until well combined.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon and retain a clear trail when a finger is dragged across the back of the spoon. Ideally, you want the mixture to reach at least 165F - I use an instant read meat thermometer for this.
- You’ll know it’s ready when the bubbles / foam incorporate into the curd.
- If you want to strain the curd, press it through a metal strainer at this point.
- Once mixture is thick / hot enough, transfer to a bowl. Add the chilled butter, whisking until fully melted and well incorporated.
- Once all of the butter has melted in and been fully incorporated into the curd, transfer to your storage container and chill for at least 1 hour before use.
Notes
Lemon curd will last for 2 weeks in the fridge, or a few months in the freezer. (Thaw overnight in the fridge before use!)
