Perfect Lemon Curd image

I finally took my mother's advice and tried the microwave method for making lemon curd. She always said it was foolproof and she was right! Couldn't have been easier, and it's creamy, tart and delicious.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c lemon juice, fresh
1/2 c butter, cubed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Strain lemon juice through a fine sieve to remove any pulp or seeds.
  • 2. In a microwave-safe glass bowl, melt butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sugar and eggs.
  • 3. Slowly whisk lemon juice mixture into butter, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
  • 4. Microwave on HIGH at 1-minute intervals, whisking well, until curd coats the back of a spoon. Three to four rounds in the microwave should do it.
