With a handful of ingredients, fresh lemons and a microwave, you can have homemade lemon curd within 5 minutes!

I’ve been making traditional lemon curd for years and I absolutely love it!  This is a quick method of making Low Carb lemon curd that is just as delicious, but is much easier.

I found the most beautiful lemons at the grocery store and just had to put them to good use!

Trust me when I tell you that it is every bit as good as when you make it with the traditional method!  I use this lemon curd to fill my Lemon Meringue Cupcakes, which are fantastic!

How to Make 5 Minute Lemon Curd

Ingredients

1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice

2 tablespoons Lemon Zest

3/4 Cup of Swerve confectioners (or erythritol)

1/2 cup grass-fed unsalted butter, melted

2 whole Eggs

3 Egg Yolks

1/4 teaspoon of Salt

Preparation

Add the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk.

Mix in the swerve for 2 minutes or until well combined.

Then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cook in the microwave for 1 minutes, remove and whisk.

Place back in the microwave to cook for another minute, remove and whisk.  Repeat the process 3 more times, for a total of 5 minutes.

Allow to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer.

You can use this lemon curd to fill my Lemon Meringue Cupcakes…

You can also use it in my Lemon Mascarpone Tart…
