My first introduction to lemon curd took place in the household of one of my college friends. Her dad, a pediatric neurologist, prepared fresh scones for us when we came to visit one winter. The delicious scones were further improved by adding a dollop of lemon curd on top. That lemon curd came from a jar, and since then I've come to realize that the fresh version offers a crispness that is absent from the preserve.
Ingredients
0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
0.25 cup butter
4 tbsp coconut milk
Preparation
Add lemon juice, zest and sugar to a small sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Whisk they egg yolks until frothy, then gradually mix in the warm lemon mixture.
Heat carefully, if necessary over a steam bath, until the mixture coats a spoon. Remove from heat. Add in butter, dissolving it a cube at a time. Stir in coconut milk. Refrigerate.
