Lemon Curd

You will find that lemon curd tends to only have 4 simple ingredients. In this particular recipe, there are a couple of extra ingredients to make this low carb.

I reached for Swerve confectioner sugar instead of a classic powdered sugar. (But you can also use Gentle Sweet or my Low Carb Powdered Sugar.)

This will give you the sugar-free name but still bring you the ultimate sweetness in every bite.

How To Make Homemade Lemon Curd

Start by grabbing a saucepan and filling it 1/3 with water. You will want to heat the water up on low/medium until it begins to simmer.

Then in a heatproof bowl, you will add in your egg yolks, sweetener, lemon zest, juice, salt, and vanilla. Then whisk for two minutes.

You will then place your bowl onto the saucepan to act similar to a double boiler, where you can whisk for around 8 minutes or until it begins to thicken.

Remove from the heat, and then add in your ice cubes, butter, and mix until melted.

Refrigerate until it is cooled down, and then you can use it as you would like.

How To Use Lemon Curd

• Low Carb Sugar-Free Vanilla Ice Cream
• Spread on Muffins (try my lemon poppyseed muffins)
• Low carb or keto bread
• Top Yogurt
• Chaffles
• Top Cottage Cheese
• And More

You can use this lemon curd for almost anything. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

What Is Lemon Curd

Lemon curd is very popular. You will find this sugar free version offers the same flavor. You will find an intense lemon tart flavor. This is a very creamy and incredible that comes together perfectly.

Why Does My Lemon Curd Tastes Like Metallic

If you cook your lemon curd in a metal pan you will find it can give a metallic flavor.

I suggest using a glass double boiler, instead of metal. You will find it gives you an incredible flavor if you use glass.

How Long Can You Keep Lemon Curd

Lemon curd needs to be refrigerated in an airtight container.

Store your curd in the refrigerator for up to a week to two weeks. Or if you would like, you are more than welcome to freeze it for 1-2 months in the freezer.

Then just thaw in the fridge the night before you plan to serve it. Give it a good stir to ensure it is well mixed and then use it as you normally would.
