Microwave Lemon Curd
Easiest curd using just one lemon
Makes enough for: 1 batch curd
Ingredients
- 45 g fructose
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 25 g butter, cubed
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
Method
- Place the fructose and lemon juice into a bowl and whisk to combine
- Add the butter and microwave in 30 second bursts until the butter has melted whisking each time
- Whisk in the egg yolk and microwave in 30 second bursts until the curd thickens (mine took 3 minutes)
- Transfer straight away to a clean bowl and cover with cling film
- Allow to cool before using
Notes
Increase the recipe if you want more curd. Mine made 65g. To make my lemon curd tarts I whipped up 65g cream and folded it into the cooled curd.
