Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 8 tbsp salted butter; cut into 1 tbsp portions
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, eggs, and lemon juice in a blender until completely combined and smooth.
- Once blended, pour the mixture into a cold pot.
- Turn the heat on the stove top to medium low, and heat the filling while whisking until thick. You should be able to scrape a silicone spatula down the center of the pan without the mixture immediately coming back together.
- Once the mixture has thickened, remove from heat and stir in the salted butter until melted and combined.
- Transfer to a bowl or jar, cover with plastic wrap, making sure that the plastic wrap touches all parts of the top of the lemon curd, and then place in the fridge to set.
- Once cool and set, enjoy!
