Description

Lemon curd is a spread for on or in cakes, pies or desserts. Delicious and lemony and originally low FODMAP and gluten-free. I share the basic recipe!


Ingredients

Scale
  • Juice and zest of 4 lemons, preferably biological ones because you use the zest
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg-white
  • 200 gr white granulated sugar
  • 100 gr butter

Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients, except for the eggs and the egg white, together in a glass bowl. Heat this a bain marie, by putting the glass bowl on top of a pan with water on the stove (make sure the bottom of the glass bowl doesn’t touch the water in the pan).
  2. Heat the mixture slowly and stir now and then until all the butter has melted.
  3. Whisk the three eggs and the egg white together shortly with a whisk and stir them into the butter mixture. Mix until everything is combined.
  4. Leave the mixture to boil for about 10 minutes and continue to stir now and then. The lemon curd is done when you get a thick and creamy mixture.
  5. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool. Continue to stir now and then while the lemon curd is cooling down. Put the lemon curd into a jar and store in the fridge. You can keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
