Sugar Free Lemon Curd
Sugar Free Lemon Curd combines butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, and a powdered sugar substitute to create a creamy, tangy spread without added sugar. Cooked gently over low heat while whisking continuously, it thickens into a smooth curd suitable for breakfast or desserts.
Ingredients
- ½ cup / 120g butter
- ½ cup / 120ml lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- 6 egg yolk
- 1 cup allulose powdered, 160g, or ¾ cup / 120g powdered erythritol
Instructions
- Melt the butter over a low heat in a saucepan.
- Take the pot off the stove and add the lemon juice, powdered sweetener and egg yolks.
- Return the saucepan to the stove (low heat). Whisk the mixture continuously for a few minutes until it thickens. Taste and adjust sweetener if necessary.
- Fill into an airtight jar and store in the fridge.
Notes
- Each portion contains about 6g net carbs, with 12 servings made at 2 tablespoons each.
- Add zest of one lemon when mixing lemon juice for enhanced lemon flavor.
- Allulose is less sweet than sugar, so use larger amounts as specified compared to erythritol or sugar.
- Store the curd in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for freshness.
