Ingredients

• 0.75 cups fresh lemon juice
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter , cubed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
3. 3 Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. 4 Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer lemon curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.
5. 5 Serve and enjoy!
