See The Recipe- (warning, jumping to recipe can result in missing important information including alternative ingredients and tips.) There is a lot that you can do with Sugar Free Lemon Curd.
Not only can curd be used with your baked goods, eat can be enjoyed like a jam or jelly.
Sugar Free Lemon Curd
It took me until an established adult age to actually appreciate lemon curd. When I say “established adult age” I mean an age that I could actually see that lemon curd was something to enjoy eating and not something relegated to bridge parties and ladies luncheons.
The fact is that I actually like lemons a lot.
However, I also like adding lemons to my recipes. Thus, lemon curd is something that I now embrace.
Lemon curd really is not that hard to make.
You will need grated lemon zest and lemon juice to make it. Using a fresh lemon is preferred. However, you can find lemon zest and lemon juice online. Just be sure to opt for products that do not have sugar added to them.
Here are some recipes that you may enjoy your curd with.

Sugar Free Lemon Curd
The recipe for Sugar Free Lemon Curd
What you will need to make this Sugar Free Lemon Curd
- Lemon Juice- 1/2 cup. Fresh is preferred. Also, no sugar added as well.
- Lemon Zest- 2 1/2 teaspoons grated.
- Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to 1/2 cup of sugar. I use granular. However, a liquid form may work in this recipe as volume is not as big as a factor.
- Eggs- 3/
- Butter- 6 tablespoons cut into cubes. Butter should be at room temperature.
How to make Sugar Free Lemon Curd
- Use a small sauce pan on low heat.
- Add the first four ingredients to the saucepan and stir together.
- When blended, switch to a whisk and whisk in the butter. Whisk the ingredients often to prevent burning.
- When the curd seems to thicken enough to stick to a spoon, remove the pan from the stove. The curd should be creamy at this point.This will be about 5-6 minutes after adding the butter.
- Transfer the curd to a glass bowl or similar container (non metal) and allow to chill for at least an hour. Use this curd within a week after making it.

Hi. I just found your blog today and started following you. I am looking for a sugar free recipe for copy cat Hostess Susie Q’s. I don’t know if you have something like that, but I would love it if you could post something like that on your blog.
Thank you for all the great recipe’s. Although I haven’t tried any of the recipes yet I am giving it a 5 star simply because I have downloaded about 1/2 of the ones you have posted. LOL

Hi
Thank you for your lovely comment.
While it has been a while since I have seen a Susie Q, you may be able to copycat it by using these recipes.
Simply make the cake part in two shallow cake pans and make a sandwich using the filling recipe.
I have a sugar free Devil’s Food Cake recipe, a crispie cocoa cookie recipe, and a chocolate cake cookie recipe. You could try one of these recipes for the sandwich part.
For the filling you could try this sugar free creme filling recipe. Or, any of these frosting recipes.
Please let me know how it turns out for you if you try this.
Thanks so much!
