Instant Pot Lemon Curd Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Lemon Curd Delight.

1. Step 1

   To create a delightful lemon curd, start by adding white sugar, fresh lemon juice, a whole egg, and an egg yolk into your blender.

2. Step 2

   Blend these ingredients briefly until they are well combined.

3. Step 3

   While the blender is still running, gradually pour in the melted butter, blending until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, creating a luscious texture.

4. Step 4

   Next, pour this vibrant lemon curd mixture into a 4-cup glass measuring cup or any Instant Pot® safe container, and cover it tightly with aluminum foil to keep the steam in.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s prepare the Instant Pot® for cooking.

6. Step 6

   Place the trivet inside the pot and add 1 ½ cups of water around it.

7. Step 7

   This will create the perfect steaming environment for your lemon curd.

8. Step 8

   Close and lock the lid securely, then select the high-pressure setting and set the timer for 10 minutes.

9. Step 9

   As the pot heats up, take a moment to enjoy the anticipation of that zesty flavor coming together.

10. Step 10

    Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes.

11. Step 11

    After that, carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam.

12. Step 12

    When it’s safe to do so, unlock the lid and gently remove the container from the Instant Pot®, peeling away the foil with care.

13. Step 13

    Now comes the fun part! Grab a whisk and stir the lemon curd until it’s smooth and even.

14. Step 14

    If you notice any lumps or curdled bits, just keep whisking until everything is beautifully combined.

15. Step 15

    Remember, the curd will be a bit thin while warm, but don’t worry—it will thicken as it cools.

16. Step 16

    Once it reaches room temperature, transfer your luscious lemon curd to a sealed container and pop it in the refrigerator.

17. Step 17

    Enjoy the sweet and tangy goodness in your favorite desserts or simply spread it on toast.

    Happy cooking!.
