How to Make Vegan Lemon Curd
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil for 1 minute without stirring, allowing the curd to thicken and become translucent.
- Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1/2 cup soy milk and 1/4 cup vegan margarine until completely smooth and well combined.
- Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve (optional, for extra smoothness).
- Pour the curd into a heatproof bowl or container. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow the curd to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully thicken. The curd will continue to thicken as it chills.
