Cómo preparar Lighter Lemon Lime Curd No Butter
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, dissolve 1/2 cup granulated sugar into 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Add the zest of 2 lemons.
- In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs.
- Whisking constantly, slowly pour the warm lemon-sugar mixture into the beaten eggs. This tempering step prevents the eggs from scrambling.
- Beat for 2 minutes until the mixture is light and frothy.
- Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the curd thickens and just begins to bubble around the edges (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for a super smooth texture).
- Transfer to a small airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set completely.
