Ingredients
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- ¾ cup sugar alternative equivalent Allulose
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice 2-3 lemons
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature and cut in chunks
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest optional
Instructions
- In a non-reactive bowl, over simmering water, whisk eggs, sweetener, and lemon juice until blended. Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling. The consistency should look like hollandaise sauce and will take close to 10 minutes of constant stirring. If you have a candy thermometer, you want the temperature to reach 160° F.
- Remove the pan from the heat and place curd through a strainer or cheese cloth (optional) over a bowl.
- Add the butter to the warm curd, stirring until it has fully incorporated.
- Stir in the lemon zest if using. Immediately place plastic wrap directly on the curd to prevent a film (skin) from forming.
- Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate.

Notes
- Be sure to leave your eggs on the counter to get to room temperature. This usually will take about 30 minutes.
- Don't leave the lemon curd unattended. Continue to stir until the mix thickens up. It will continue to thicken as it cools and after it is refrigerated.
