Luscious Lemon Curd
1 hr & 10 min (includes 1 hour chill time)
1 1/2 cups
Pucker up! A tangy, sweet, and creamy lemon pie filling, without the crust! Making lemon curd has never been easier. Say goodbye to separating out the egg yolk and good riddance to a pesky double boiler! This lemon curd uses whole eggs and is made in the microwave. Spread over scones, drizzle over ice cream, or lick straight from the spoon!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 pkg Luscious Lemon Curd Mix
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 tbsp butter, optional
Preparation
- In a 4-Cup Prep Bowl, whisk eggs until foamy. Add mix and water; whisk until well combined.
- Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 min, until thickened, whisking halfway through and at the end. If the curd has not thickened after 2 min, cook for additional 30 sec intervals, whisking after each, until desired thickness is achieved.
