Directions

• Place the egg yolks into a heat-proof bowl and beat vigorously for 1 minute. Add sugar and beat for another minute. Add the lemon juice and zest and stir to incorporate.
• Place bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bowl isnt touching the water. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens. This can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.
• Once mixture has thickened, stir in the butter one piece at a time, stirrig until each piece is nearly completely melted before adding another one.
• Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a storage container or another bowl. Let cool for a bit (30-45 minutes) then press plastic wrap onto the top of the lemon curd to make sure there is no skin that develops. Put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
• This will keep in the fridge for 7-10 days.
