Indulge in the tangy sweetness of lemon curd without worrying about the carbs! This low-carb version is simple to make and perfect for anyone following a keto diet.
Ingredients: 4 large eggs. 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener. 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice. Zest of 2 lemons. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed.
Instructions: In a saucepan, whisk together eggs, sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined. Place the saucepan over low heat and add the cubed butter. Continuously whisk until the butter is melted and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits and lemon zest. Transfer the lemon curd into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours or overnight. Enjoy your low-carb lemon curd on its own, or use it as a topping for keto-friendly desserts!
