Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 7 min
Yield: 12
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

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 new quick method of making it 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 simply fantastic!

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…
