Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine yolks, sugar, and lemon zest and juice in a medium heavy-bottom saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring after each until butter is melted and combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until firm and thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
