Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 Meyer lemons
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.
  2. Stir in the Meyer lemon juice and zest until smooth.
  3. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler.
  4. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  6. Strain the lemon curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or zest.
  7. Allow the curd to cool slightly before transferring it to jars or containers for storage.
  8. Cover the surface of the curd with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours.

Notes

  • Be sure to strain the lemon curd after cooking to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Store the lemon curd in clean, airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Use Meyer lemon curd as a spread on toast, filling for cakes and tarts, or as a topping for yogurt and ice cream.
