Perfect Lemon Curd
Description
Lemon curd is deliciously tart, sweet, and silky smooth. It’s easy to make at home in less than 10 minutes with just 5 ingredients for a tangy treat.
Ingredients
•
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
•
3 large eggs
•
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
3
Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
4
Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer lemon curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.

Serve and enjoy!
