Just 4 Ingredients to Lemon Bliss
You only need four simple ingredients to whip up this delightful lemon curd. But first, let’s talk lemons!
Lemon Selection Tips:
Freshness is Key: Grab 4 fresh lemons for the best flavor. The fresher the lemons, the tastier your curd!
Wash Well: Since you’ll be zesting the lemons, give them a good scrub with vinegar and baking soda to remove any wax or pesticides.
Let’s Get Started!
Zest and Sugar: Start by zesting your lemons and mixing the zest with granulated sugar. Set this tangy mixture aside while you prep the rest.
Prepare the Eggs: Separate 6 egg yolks and juice the remaining lemons. Don’t worry—this recipe uses quite a bit of eggs, but the bright flavors of lemon will mask any egg taste!
Heat It Up: Combine the egg yolks, lemon sugar, and lemon juice in a pot. Turn the heat on to low and whisk continuously to avoid clumps from the eggs cooking. Keep an eye on it until the mixture reaches the perfect consistency!
Butter It Up: Once everything is perfectly combined, turn off the heat and whisk in cold butter until it’s smooth and creamy.
Customize Your Curds!
Feeling adventurous? Here are a few ways to make this lemon curd your own:
Extra Zing: Add more lemon zest or juice for an even bolder flavor.
Silky Smooth: Strain the curd for an ultra-smooth finish.
Storage Tips
Don’t forget to chill your curd in the fridge! It will stay fresh for up to a week, and you can freeze it for 2-3 months for those moments when you need a lemony pick-me-up.
