Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 3 lemons
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest about 1 lemon
Instructions
- Juice the lemons so you get 1/2 cup of lemon juice. Zest one of the lemons.
- In a small saucepan combine the egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice. Whisk over low heat until blended.
- Add the butter and lemon zest, still stirring, and cook until thicken enough to coat the spoon, about 10 minutes. You can also use a thermometer and cook until the lemon curd reaches 160 degrees F.
- Strain it through a wire mesh to eliminate the lemon zest and any eggy bits.
- Pour the lemon curd into a bowl or glass jar and let it cool to room temperature.
- Then refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Because this recipe requires consistent stirring get everything ready before you start heating it. You don't want to be trying to zest a lemon or find a whisk while the lemon curd cooks.
- For best results keep the burner on low and keep stirring. Don't try to rush things along by turning up the heat.
- If you prefer a sweeter lemon curd then you can increase the sugar in the recipe to 1 cup.
