Time 20m

Yield 1 2/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs plus 3 egg yolks
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk the whole eggs and yolks in a small bowl, then whisk into the lemon mixture.
  • Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it¿s thick like pudding, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.
