Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries heaping
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups key lime juice
- 3 tablespoons butter cold
- 1/2 teaspoon raspberry extract
Instructions
- Press the fresh raspberries through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the seeds. You’ll need 1/2 cup fresh raspberry juice.
- In two bowls, divide the egg whites and yolks. Set aside the egg whites from another recipe.
- In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until combined.
- Add in the 1/2 cup fresh raspberry juice and key lime juice. Whisk until incorporated into the sugar mixture. Place saucepan over medium heat and let it come up to a boil. Whisking occasionally.
- Once it comes up to a boil, let it boil for 2 minutes. Whisk constantly to avoid burning.
- Pour about ½ cup of the juice mixture into the egg yolks that you’ve set aside. Whisk immediately to avoid cooking the yolks. This is tempering the yolks.
- Add the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the juice and whisk until incorporated.
- Let the raspberry lime curd come up to a boil, and boil for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from the heat and add the cold butter and raspberry extract. Whisk until the butter is melted and well combined.
- Place in a shallow dish and cover with plastic wrap. Be sure that the plastic wrap is touching the curd, otherwise it may form a skin. Let cool completely. It will take 2-3 hours.
