Refined Sugar Free Lemon Curd Recipe
Easy and delicious zesty lemon curd recipe with no refined sugar! Making this quick simple homemade lemon curd is well-worth it for the amazing citrus taste.
You will be making this amazing lemon curd recipe again and again, with such minimal effort giving you a delicious result!
Only 5 simple ingredients meld together for a zesty and thick lemon curd that's better and healthier than store-bought options.
When you zest the lemon, use the fine side of the grater as seen in the video, being careful not to grate off any of the bitter white pith.
This recipe was adapted from the Delia Smith version, which uses white sugar.
I love this version too because it doesn't involve separating the eggs.
The cornflour incorporates easily because you start whisking the mixture from cold, and keep whisking as it heats to avoid catching.
Using cornflour to thicken also means this recipe is gluten-free.
The result is a beautiful, zesty, thick lemon curd, with no refined sugars.
This recipe makes 1 small jar, about 300 grams.
It will happily keep in the fridge for a few weeks, or if you'd like to preserve it for longer by canning, then sterilise the jar first by washing in hot soapy water, rinse well then microwave for 45 seconds until dry. Sterilise the lid in boiling water.
This lemon curd is great spread on toast for breakfast, or used as a filling for sugar free lemon cake, or spread as a topping on cheesecake!
I hope you get chance to make this, I'm sure you will love it!
