5 Minute Microwave Keto Lemon Curd
Description
The 5 Minute Microwave Keto Lemon Curd uses fresh lemon juice and zest combined with egg yolks and whole eggs to create a creamy texture. The mixture is sweetened with Monk Fruit Sweetener or allulose, which supports a keto diet. Cooking in short bursts in the microwave with whisking ensures the curd thickens evenly without scrambling the eggs. The melted grass-fed, unsalted butter adds richness and a smooth finish. Cooling at room temperature helps it set before storage.
This lemon curd can be used as a spread, filling, or topping for keto-friendly baked goods, and it keeps well refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer storage. The recipe makes about 1 ½ cups, sufficient for multiple servings.
For those without microwaves, a traditional stovetop method is an alternative, maintaining the same ingredients and consistency.
Ingredients
- ½ cup lemon juice fresh
- ½ cup butter melted, grass-fed, unsalted
- ¾ cup Monk Fruit Sweetener or allulose
- 3 egg yolk

- Add the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk. Add in the sweetener and mix for 2 minutes or until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cook in the microwave for 1 minutes, remove and whisk.

- Allow to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then store leftovers in an airtight jar the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer.
Notes
- This recipe produces about 1 ½ cups of lemon curd, suitable for several uses.
- If you lack a microwave, use the stovetop method to prepare this keto lemon curd with the same ingredients.
