Lemon curd

I like Lemon dessert because it is refreshing, like sour and sweet combination. This lemon curd is delicious, can be used as bread spread, serve with yoghurt or cake... 

close up of lemon curd, it is thickened after simmering in a saucepan

You can pour lemon curd over a cake - yummmm!

Ingredients - Make about 1 1/2 cups
3 eggs
2 egg yolks 
1 cup sugar 
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
1/2 cup lemon juice 
150g unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Place the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large saucepan, whisk well

Then cook it over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolved

2. Reduce heat to low, add in the butter, stir continuously until melted

3. Continue to stir and let it cook for 4–6 minutes or until the mixture is thickened 

=> check:

- if it coats the back of a spoon

- when you stir, you need more force

3. Turn off the heat, use seive to strain lemon curd into a medium bowl (cover with plastic wrap) or directly in air-tight jar (close lid), let it cool at room temperature

Store it in fridge maximum 1 week

Enjoy!
