Instructions

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water). Heat while whisking constantly until mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees, or coats the back of a spoon.

Step 2

Pour the lemon curd into a heat proof bowl, cover with clear wrap pressed onto the top of the curd to avoid a film developing, and refrigerate until cold.

Step 3

Serve with your desired treat. Lemon curd is best when well covered and consumed within 1-2 weeks.
