Lime Curd
Serves: 1¼ cups
 
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup Key lime juice, such as Nellie and Joe’s
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, lime juice, and sugar, whisking until combined. Add melted butter, whisking constantly.
  3. Return mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Immediately pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small heatproof bowl. Add lime zest, stirring until combined. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the surface of curd to prevent it from forming a skin while cooling.
  5. Refrigerate until very cold, approximately 4 hours, before using. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a less tart curd, we recommend using regular lime juice instead of Key lime juice.
