Easiest Lemon Curd recipe is in the description 🍋💛

Here’s the full recipe for Melissa’s Easiest Lemon Curd:

½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup/240 milliliters freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 4 to 6 lemons)
¾ cup to 1 cup/150 grams to 200 grams
granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt

Put the butter in a large (at least 6 cup) microwave-safe glass bowl or measuring cup.
Set your microwave on 50 percent power and melt the butter, about 1 to 1½ minutes.

Pour butter into a blender and add lemon zest, juice, sugar, eggs, egg yolk and salt.
Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into the same glass bowl you melted the butter in.
(You don’t need to wash it.)

Microwave the curd mixture, on full power, in
1-minute intervals for 5 minutes. Whisk furiously between intervals, especially around the edges of the bowl. It should start to thicken. (If it looks like it’s starting to thicken before 5 minutes, stop and continue to the next step; microwaves can vary.)

Reduce power to 70 percent and continue to microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, whisking every 30 seconds, until the curd thickens enough to coat a spoon, and looks slightly puffed and spongy. (It will continue to thicken as it chills.) An instant-read thermometer should register 180 degrees.

Whisk well and inspect the curd. If you think there are any coagulated bits of egg, strain curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Or if it looks smooth, you can leave it in its current bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to create an airtight seal and let the curd cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours.

Even easier, if you've got a high powered blender like a vitamix, do the whole think in the blender. Just chuck in the ingredients she lists -- just toss in the stick of butter without cutting it -- and blend it until it's hot enough to thicken. Takes about 7min in my vitamix

Interesting tip. Thanks for the subibtles. =)

Have you considered using the power level button on the microwave?

You already have it in a Vitamix... it will boil water.😊

Seems so dangerous to microwave something with egg in it… scrambled egg lemon curd? 🤔

Tossed out my microwave 15 years ago in lieu of better options.
