Zubereitung von Luscious Lemon Curd
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl.
- Gradually whisk in the lemon juice and zest.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water; use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan with a little water to create a gentle heat).
- Cook, whisking constantly, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-12 minutes). The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape when a finger is dragged through.
- Remove from heat and immediately strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps or bits of zest.
- Stir in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until melted and fully incorporated.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the curd to fully set.
- Once chilled, your Luscious Lemon Curd is ready to enjoy! Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
