How to Make Incredibly Easy Lemon Curd Ecuadorean Style
- Whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. This slurry helps thicken the curd.
- Combine the cornstarch mixture, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 3 large lemons), 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into cubes), and 3 large eggs in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, to remove any lumps) into a bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for extra zesty flavor).
- Let the curd cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set. Enjoy!
