Provided by LindseyKay

Categories     Dessert

Time 17m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 minute Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 minute Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will LOOK curdled, but it will smooth out as the butter melts in the cooking process.
  • Cook the mixture over low heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it looks smooth. I find it helpful to use a wisk. The mixture will smooth out as the butter melts and change from cloudy to clear.
  • Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. The entire process should take about 15 minutes.
  • Your lemon curd is ready when it leaves a path on the back of a spoon. If you are super careful (I'm not) you can double check readiness by temperature. It should read 170°F on a thermometer. Don't let the mixture boil.
  • Immeadiately transfer to a cool bowl and cool.
