Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, allulose, and a pinch of salt.
    1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 3 egg yolks, 1/3 cup powdered allulose, 1 pinch salt
  • Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly.
  • After 5-7 minutes, the curd will start to thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter until fully melted and smooth.
    1/4 cup butter
  • Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve if you want it ultra silky (optional but worth it).
  • Let it cool at room temperature, then transfer to a jar and refrigerate until set.

Notes

  • Tip: Always use fresh lemons for the best flavor.
  • Cook low and slow—don’t rush the heat or your curd may curdle.
  • If using coconut oil instead of butter, it will slightly change the flavor but works great for dairy-free!
  • Lemon curd thickens more as it cools. Chill for at least 20 minutes before using.
  • This recipe makes about 3/4 cup of curd, just right for 6 servings - 2 tablespoons each serving..
