Ingredients:
-2 whole eggs + 2 egg yolks
-1/2 cup sugar (I prefer brown sugar)
-zest of 1 lemon
-3 lemons juiced (about 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice)
-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions:
In a bowl combine the whole eggs and egg yolks. Then add the sugar into the eggs, mix together, and set aside.
Zest one of the lemons, then squeeze the juice out of all the lemons (Watch the video below to see my trick on how to get the most juice out of lemons with no fancy gadgets)
Add the lemon juice and zest into the egg and sugar mixture, and mix well.
Fill a saucepan halfway with water and keep the water boiling over Medium heat. Add the lemon egg mixture into a heatproof bowl and add the bowl over the boiling pot of water. This is called a water bath and the eggs are going to cook over this.
*Caution: Use oven mitts and be careful while handling the boiling water.
At this point I turned the heat up almost to High but not all the way, you want to keep whisking the egg mixture constantly from this point on for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Do not stop whisking because the mixture will cook and turn into scrambled eggs. You want a smooth creamy texture with no clumps. You'll notice it gets fluffier and lighter in texture and color.
Once it has thickened and is a pudding like consistency, remove it from the heat. Add in the butter and whisk until it's all melted and incorporated.
Cover the Lemon curd with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about an hour. Then you can enjoy it as a topping or filling for so many desserts, eat it by the spoonful like me, or make my NO BAKE MINI LEMON BERRY CHEESCAKES
