Description

This Paleo Lemon Curd is just plain delightful. The sunshine-hued sweet blends the creaminess of butter, the tartness of citrus, and the richness of egg yolk to make a treat fit for high tea.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup ghee (or unsalted butter if not strict Paleo)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 4 egg yolks

Instructions

  1. Melt butter over low heat.
  2. Remove butter from heat and whisk in lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey until well-incorporated.
  3. Add egg yolks and return to low heat, whisking continuously until curd begins to thicken.
  4. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a glass storage bowl, using your whisk to help move the curd through the strainer.
  5. Let your mixture cool before popping in the fridge.

Notes

The curd will thicken slightly in the fridge and will become slightly more granular as it cools. Give it a quick stir before spooning onto other dishes and it will be velvety smooth.
