Easy 4-ingredient Easy Homemade Lemon Curd that takes only 10 minutes! This homemade curd is deliciously tangy, creamy, and full of bright lemon flavor!
Ingredients
- 3 Large Yolks
- 1 Large Whole Egg
- 1/2 Cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- Zest of 2 Large Lemons
- 3/4 Cup (150g) White Sugar
- 4 Tbsp (56g) Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with 1–2 inches of water and bring to a simmer.
- Add 2 whole egg and 2 yolks, granulated sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice into a heatproof bowl and place it over the pot of simmering water. Whisking constantly to prevent curdling, cook until the mixture thickens. The curd is ready when reaches about 170ºF (76ºC) or coats the back of a spoon. About 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and carefully remove the bowl from the pan. Be careful, as the steam under the bowl will be hot. Add sliced butter into the curd and whisk until combined. The heat from the curd will melt the butter as you whisk.
- Strain the curd into a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top, making sure it's touching the top of the curd. (This prevents a skin from forming on top.) The curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Store in the fridge for 10 days and enjoy!
