Aaahhh summer is almost upon us my friends!!
Yes! Summer is so amazing here in Western Washington!
We deal with months and months of "liquid sunshine" so when the actual summer arrives it is
A B SO LU T E L Y fabulous!!
Lemon to me is the flavor of summer.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I have been known to make this in the dead of winter, but who could blame me?
It is like sunshine in a jar! And it couldn't be any easier!!
Bonus is that this is a low-carb recipe version people!
No guilt.
I love that!!
Quick Low-Carb Microwave Lemon Curd
ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted grass-fed butter
- 1 cup Besti Monk Fruit and Allulose Blend sweetener
- 3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
instructions:
How to cook Quick Low-Carb Microwave Lemon Curd
- Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for around 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, or until fully melted.
- Whisk in the sweetener, and lemon juice, and whisk until smooth, then whisk in the eggs.
- Cook in the microwave on high in one-minute increments, whisking well after each minute until the mixture thickens enough that it coats the back of a spoon. The time may vary depending on your microwave's power.
- Once thickened, transfer into an airtight container or jar, pressing plastic wrap onto the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, or in the freezer for up to a year.

Just wondering if could press wax paper on it while cooling for two hours instead of plastic wrap that prevents the skin from forming. I am hesitant to have plastic wrap touching warm food ?

Can you make this with granulated sugar?
bobbiskozykitchen
Yes, if you are not low carb you can use regular sugar in this recipe.

I let the curd cool just a bit before I pressed the plastic wrap into it. I am sure the wax paper would be OK, I am just not sure if you could get it to press against the entire top of the curd flatly.

Can sugar be substituted for the erythritol in this recipe?
Bobbi
Yes you can do a 1/1 swap with sugar for erythritol.

I only have regular salted butter, will it still be ok?
Bobbi
As I only use unsalted butter I cannot speak to this. I am not sure if it would make the curd taste salty or not. If you do try will you come back and let me know?
