Easy Lemon Curd

Kankana Saxena

Ingredients
 

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • cup lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
  • 9 tablespoons cold butter (cut in 1- tablespoon cubes)

Instructions
 

  • Take a heavy bottom saucepan and add the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, salt and eggs. Whisk to combine everything and place it on medium heat. Keep stirring for 3 minutes as it slowly cooks and dissolves the sugar.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and start adding butter cubes, 2 at a time. Keep stirring continuously and as the cubes melt, add 2 more. Continue the process till you have added all the butter cubes. In about 6 to 7 minutes, you will notice that the curd will start to thicken. You will know it’s ready when it coats the back of the spoon.
  • Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down a bit. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Then, strain it into a clean airtight jar. Once it cooled down completely, seal it tight and keep it in the refrigerator.
