INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup (69g) sugar
4 egg yolks
3 tbsp (42g) salted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine all the ingredients in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water). Heat while whisking constantly until mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees, or coats the back of a spoon.
2. Pour the lemon curd into a heat proof bowl, cover with clear wrap pressed onto the the top of the curd to avoid a film developing, and refrigerate until cold.
3. Serve with your desired treat. Lemon curd is best when well covered and consumed within 1-2 weeks.
