Ingredients
-
2
whole medium eggs
-
1
medium egg yolk
-
Zest from one whole lime
-
Juice from 1 1/2 limes
-
4 tablespoons
butter
-
1/4 cup
granulated sugar
Directions
-
Whisk the eggs, yolk, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl. Heat up a small saucepan or non-stick skillet on low heat and add the mixture to it. Keep whisking continuously to prevent curdling.
-
Add the butter and sugar, and increase heat to medium-low. Whisk continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is thickened and beginning to simmer around the edges, then continue to whisk for about 10 seconds longer.
-
Remove from the heat and scrape into a mesh strainer, pressing gently on the solids. Scrape any lemon curd clinging to the underside of the strainer into the bowl. Refrigerate to chill before using. Cover tightly with a lid and use for up to a week.
