Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer lemon curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
