4-Ingredient Lemon Curd Recipe

4-Ingredient Lemon Curd

MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS

Lemon curd is creamy, luscious, and easy to make. Use it to fill tarts, spread on scones, stir into yogurt, or top layers of meringue in a delicious, pillowy pavlova.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 4 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Directions:

  1. Add everything to a small, heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Whisk together.
  2. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Don’t stop! Once the mixture begins to bubble and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat.
  3. Pass mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Cool, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a jar (or two). Cover and cool completely before refrigerating or serving.
