  • 3 - eggs

How To Make sugar free lemon curd

  • Step 1
    1) Cut butter up into pieces (around 8 to 10 pieces is good). Put the butter into the freezer.
  • Step 2
    2) Blend the rest of the ingredients together, with either a stick blender or standing blender.
  • Step 3
    3) Heat slowly in small saucepan or double boiler. Whisk or stir frequently. When curd begins to thicken to the point where it coats the spoon, or leaves a trail when the bottom of the pan is scraped with a spatula, or is 170 F, remove from heat (don't let it get to boiling).
  • Step 4
    4) Immediately whisk or stir in butter. Keep stirring until butter is melted and incorporated.
  • Step 5
    5) Taste. If you think it's too "sharp," try adding another Tablespoon or two of butter.
  • Step 6
    6) Put in airtight container. A piece of plastic wrap on the surface will keep a "skin" from forming. Cool completely before using (it will thicken a bit more). It can keep in refrigerator up to one week.
