Simple and
Easy Low Carb Lemon Curd
1/2
cup = 120 ml freshly pressed lemon juice
3 extra large organic eggs
1/2 cup = 120 ml = 100 g erythritol crystals
7 tablespoons = 100 g unsalted butter
10 drops Sweetleaf Vanilla Stevia
3 extra large organic eggs
1/2 cup = 120 ml = 100 g erythritol crystals
7 tablespoons = 100 g unsalted butter
10 drops Sweetleaf Vanilla Stevia
Directions
1. Put everything in a saucepan and
heat over low heat whisking all the time until the mixture is thick.
2. Store in the fridge in an airtight
container.
***Gay's Note: This made about 2 cups. I didn't have extra large eggs or unsalted butter, so I used 4 large eggs and regular butter. It came out fine. Possibly addictive! The vanilla stevia and erythritol you can find at Amazon. The stevia drops come in a lot of interesting and possibly useful or fun flavors. I am just beginning to explore them. This vanilla one, I am already finding useful. See links below for more information.

Over time, I found that this is a little too acidic for me. And when I stored it a while, the erythritol crystalized into big, crunchy sugar crystals. Which I kind of liked, but that's not how lemon curd is supposed to behave. :-/ I started eating it with a little heavy cream on top to take the edge off its intense flavor.
