Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 2 T. cornstarch
- 3/4 cup Strawberry Puree
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 T. butter chilled
- 1/2 tsp. strawberry extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add in the sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Stir to combine.
- Add in the 3/4 cup of strawberry puree and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Once incorporated, put the saucepan over medium heat and let the mixture come up to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes. Whisk constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the egg yolks into a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of the strawberry mixture into the egg yolks. Whisk immediately to avoid cooking the yolks. This is tempering the yolks.
- Add the tempered yolks into the saucepan with the strawberry mixture and whisk until incorporated.
- Let the strawberry lemon curd come back up to a boil, and let boil for 5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add in the chilled butter and strawberry extract. Whisk until the butter is thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Make sure the plastic wrap is sitting on top of the mixture so a skin doesn't form. Place into the fridge to chill and thicken up more.
- Store in the fridge. Use in desserts, as a spread, or just eat by the spoonful.
