Lime Curd – Andicakes

Recipe: Lime Curd

Ingredients

1/2-cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 Tbs grated lime zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 Tbs unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

In a medium saucepan combine sugar, eggs, lime zest and juice. Cook mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Cook until mixture begins to thicken, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and whisk in diced butter only adding a few pieces at a time. Mix until well combined.

Using a fine strainer, pour the mixture through a fine sieve or cheese cloth.

Now cover mixture with plastic by laying plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd to prevent a film or “skin” from forming.

Chill the curd with plastic over it for 3 hours or overnight to set the curd

Whisk before using or serving.
