Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg yolks
Zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
12 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath fitted with a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together yolks, zest, juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Set over medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, stirring until incorporated. Pass through a fine mesh sieve into prepared medium bowl. Stirring frequently, let stand until cool.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent skin from forming; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm and chilled, at least 1 hour.

This lemon curd is a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll cook it for a little longer next time.

The lemon curd was easy to make, but it didn't set properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The curd was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
