LEMON CURD

LEMON CURD

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Beat butter and Swerve in an electric mixer on medium speed until blended.

Step 2

Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Step 3

Slowly add lemon juice to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended.

Step 4
Remove from mixer. Stir in zest (mixture will look curdled).

Step 5
Transfer mixture to a heavy 4 quart saucepan, and cook, whisking constantly, over medium low heat until mixture thickens about 10-15 minutes depending on quality of your pot.

Step 6

Transfer curd to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly onto curd (this ensures a skin doesn’t form while it cools). Chill until firm in refrigerator for about 4 hours.*


*Note: You can refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Makes about 20 servings.
