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…
