Lighter Lemon - Lime Curd (No Butter) image

I love lemon curd or lemon butter as we call it here in Oz but it's quite fattening so I went searching for a lighter version and found this on a website called Bakingsheet. Recipe can easily be increased.

This curd is amazing! It's the perfect topping for my lemon meringue pie. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

This lemon-lime curd is a game-changer! It's so light and refreshing, and the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I love that it's made without butter, so it's a bit healthier than traditional curd. I used it to fill a lemon meringue pie, and it was a
