Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (6oz/170g) sugar
- 3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup (4floz/115ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (4 oz/115g) butter , melted and cooled slightly
Instructions
-
In a large microwavable bowl, combine the sugar and eggs, whisking until smooth. Then, stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and the butter.
-
Microwave the lemon and egg mixture for 3-4 minutes in 45-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the mixture is thick. What you’re looking for is the lemon curd to be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl and cover with a layer of cling wrap, directly touching the curd. This will keep the curd from forming a skin. Allow for full cooling.
-
When cool, cover and refrigerate the lemon curd.
-
The curd will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
