Easy Lemon Curd Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Zest the lemons. If you have a food processor, you may pulse the zest and sugar together to draw out more oil; this is optional.
2. Juice the lemons to get about half a cup of juice, and strain out the seeds.
3. Strain the egg yolks into a pot and beat lightly with a whisk. Whisk in the sugar until lighter in colour, then gradually stir in the lemon juice.
4. Heat on low, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens, just starts to bubble and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cold, cubed butter until melted.
6. Optionally, strain the final mixture to remove any bits of zest. Transfer to a sealable container, or cover the surface of the curd with plastic wrap if storing in a bowl.
