- 1 cup Lemon Juice about 6-7 lemons
- 3 large Egg Yolks
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Zest
- ¼ cup Butter
In a blender, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Blend together until well combined.
Add the lemon mixture to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low while whisking constantly until the lemon mixture starts to bubble and simmer. Keep whisking for about 1 minute, or until the mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon, then remove from heat.
Add in the butter, stirring well until butter is completely melted and mixed in.
Transfer to a sealable container or bowl and cover it with plastic wrap to avoid a thick skin from forming. Let it cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, then cover and transfer to the refrigerate to chill until completely cooled.
Store Lemon Curd in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
