Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Lemon Curd Spread.
Step 1
Start by filling a saucepan with water, making sure it reaches about an inch up the side.
Step 2
Place it over medium-low heat and let it simmer gently.
Step 3
While the water warms up, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the eggs, coconut oil, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Now, carefully set the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water itself.
Step 5
This gentle heat will help create a luscious curd.
Step 6
Whisk the mixture continuously for about 6 to 8 minutes, watching as it transforms into a smooth, pudding-like consistency.
Step 7
Once it thickens beautifully, take the bowl off the heat but keep whisking for another 2 to 3 minutes to let it cool slightly.
Step 8
To prevent a skin from forming on your delicious curd, cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it right onto the surface.
Step 9
Pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until it’s cold and slightly thickened.
Step 10
This delightful lemon curd is perfect for spreading on toast, filling pastries, or simply enjoying by the spoonful!.
