Makes 1 cup of low fat lemon curd.
Traditionally, lemon curd is a lusciously thick and rich spread. And no wonder: it's full of eggs and butter. So with fewer eggs and no butter, here's a quick and easy light lemon curd that makes a great filling for mini phyllo tart shells, or a deliciously sweet yet tart spread for whole-grain toast.
Sixtiesgirl "So glad I tried this! I was surprised how yummy this lemon curd is, its thick and luscious smells and tastes wonderfully lemony.
Ingredients:
• Juice of 2 large lemons, strained
• 1/2 cup baker's (fine) sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tbsp lemon zest
Preparation:
Place strained lemon juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on low and stir until sugar has dissolved.
Lightly beat egg in a medium bowl.
Remove lemon syrup from heat and pour slowly into beaten egg while stirring the mixture with a whisk. Continue to whisk by hand for one minute.
Return mixture to saucepan; add lemon zest, and heat on low until it thickens -- about two minutes.
Remove from heat. Transfer to a container and cover (to prevent a skin from forming), then refrigerate.
