Kitten’s Easy Microwave Lemon Curd
For those who want to avoid stove top preparation this is an easy recipe with great results! I would recommend to use fresh lemon juice although I have made it in the past using half fresh and half bottled but the flavor with be reduced, this will keep tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, if desired you may add in the zest of 1 lemon although I prefer my curd smooth…
For a creamy lemon curd mix in heavy unwhipped whipping cream starting with 1 tablespoon and adding in more to taste after the curd has finished cooking
INGREDIENTS:
1 to 1-1/4 sugar (for a tangier lemon flavor use only 1 cup if you prefer a sweeter curd use 1-1/4 cups)
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS:————————————
In a microwave-safe bowl combine the sugar with eggs and egg yolks until smooth; stir in the lemon juice and melted butter.
Cook until the curd is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, removing every minute to stir.
Cool and place in a glass jar, cover and store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
