Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 egg large
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup lime juice fresh
  • 4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces, unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a stainless steel bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, yolk, and lime juice together.
  2. Set over a pot of simmering water and continuously whisk to prevent the egg from curdling, cooking until the mixture thickens, roughly 10-15 minutes.
  3. Take the pot off heat and strain the curd using a fine mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, pressing it with a spoon as needed.
  4. Gradually incorporate the butter chunks and zest into the heated lime mixture, mixing until the butter fully melts and the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
  5. Transfer the lime curd to a clean jar. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. The lime curd will thicken further as it cools.
