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.

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.

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.
