Luscious Lemon Curd

1 hr & 10 min (includes 1 hour chill time)

1 1/2 cups

Pucker up! A tangy, sweet, and creamy lemon pie filling, without the crust! Making lemon curd has never been easier­. Say goodbye to separating out the egg yolk and good riddance to a pesky double boiler! This lemon curd uses whole eggs and is made in the microwave. Spread over scones, drizzle over ice cream, or lick straight from the spoon!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pkg Luscious Lemon Curd Mix
  • 1⁄2 cup water
  • 1 tbsp butter, optional

Preparation

  • In a 4-Cup Prep Bowl, whisk eggs until foamy. Add mix and water; whisk until well combined.
  • Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 min, until thickened, whisking halfway through and at the end. If the curd has not thickened after 2 min, cook for additional 30 sec intervals, whisking after each, until desired thickness is achieved.
  • Whisk in butter, if desired.
  • Cover; refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until cooled.
