Como fazer 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.
