Ingredients

180 ml fresh lemon juice
180 ml white sugar
120 ml unsalted butter, cubed
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Directions

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
Step 2
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest.
Step 3
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and bubbles start to appear on the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the curd to a large bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Refrigerate the curd for later use.
Step 5
Serve and enjoy the luscious lemon curd!
