Ingredients
-
¾ cup fresh lemon juice
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Method
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Combine lemon juice, sugar, butter, eggs, and lemon zest in a 2-quart saucepan.
-
Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling, until mixture starts to get thick and bubbles rise to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Remove saucepan from the heat; transfer lemon curd into a large bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin forming. The curd will thicken more as it cools. Store in the refrigerator.

Serve and enjoy!
