Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 large egg yolks
1 large whole egg
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Combine yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk to combine. Set over medium heat, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, making sure to stir sides and bottom of pan. Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat back of wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring with the wooden spoon until consistency is smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd to avoid a skin from forming; wrap tightly. Let cool; refrigerate until firm and chilled, at least 1 hour.

This lemon curd is a bit too tart for my taste, but it's still very good. I might add a little more sugar next time.
