Description
Laura Davis makes a delicious lime curd recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup (63g to 96g) of sugar (I used 1/2 cup (96g) in recipe above)
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1/2 cup (0.118L) of fresh lime juice
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs and sugar in saucepan until a light lemony color.
- Alternatively this can be done in a stand mixer and then added to the saucepan. This will take a minute or two in the mixer and more if doing by hand. Add in the zest, lime juice and pieces of butter.
- Place saucepan over medium heat and constantly whisk mixture until it starts to thicken. Allow it to come to a simmer for a couple of seconds and remove from heat.
- Add vanilla here if you choose to. Cool to room temperature and then place in a container in the frig. It will thicken more as it cools down.
