These days, I like to carbonate my curds (see page 134, for example), but you could serve this one, with its mix of lemon, lime, and orange, as is, spooned over berries or over sorbet, or both.

Yield makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup (50g) sugar
5 large egg yolks
1/3 cup (80g) fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup (80g) fresh lime juice
1/4 cup (60g) fresh orange juice
5 teaspoons (25g) water

Steps:

  • Set up an ice bath in a large bowl.
  • Whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a heatproof bowl until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the juices and water and set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Cook, stirring often with a heatproof rubber scraper, until the curd reaches 180°F.
  • Mix the curd with an immersion blender and strain into a bowl. Set into the ice bath to chill completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve it.
