Comment préparer Easy Lemon Curd

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, the zest of 2 lemons, and 4 large eggs until well combined.
Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking vigorously and constantly. The curd is ready when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and holds a ripple when you lift the whisk (about 8-10 minutes). The first bubbles will appear on the surface.
Immediately remove from heat. Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to remove any lumps or bits of zest (optional).
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming.
Chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 week, before using. Enjoy!
