Ingredients | 12 servings

• ¾ cup fresh lemon juice
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Directions

• Step 1: Gather all ingredients.
• Step 2: Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
• Step 3: Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Step 4: Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.
• Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
