Made with monk fruit sweetener, this sugar-free lemon curd is a guilt-free way to enjoy a classic treat, whether as a topping, filling, or spread.
Ingredients
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener (powdered)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of one lemon
- 4 tbsp butter, cut into pieces
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Whisk the Egg Yolks – In a small saucepan, whisk the egg yolks until foamy.
- Combine Sweetener and Lemon – Add monk fruit sweetener, salt, and lemon juice to the egg yolks, whisking until smooth.
- Cook the Mixture – Place over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
- Incorporate Butter – Remove from heat, add butter one tablespoon at a time, whisking until fully melted and smooth.
- Chill the Curd – Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface to prevent skin formation), and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by increasing or decreasing the monk fruit sweetener.
- Avoid high heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
