Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs plus
2 large egg yolks
1/3 c plus 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • 1. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Slowly add the eggs and the extra yolks one at a time.( Save the 2 egg whites for another recipe). Mix well after each addition. Pour in lime juice and mix again. Expect the mixture to look curdled, this is normal.
  • 2. Cook the mixture over medium heat in a medium-size saucepan until it looks smooth (no longer curdled.) Increase the heat slightly and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thicken. Cooking thermometer should read 170^.
  • 3. Remove the curd from the heat. Transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap on the surface of the curd to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator. The curd will thicken as it cools. Covered tightly, it will keep in the fridge for a week and the freezer for 2 months.
