Curd de limão e mel

Ingredientes

• 1/2 cup (120ml) honey
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp of lemon zest (1-2 lemons depending on size)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter (cut into cubes)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, egg yolks, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

2. 2

   Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble around the edges. Continue whisking and sweeping every inch of the pan (to prevent scorching the curd) until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon or spatula.

3. 3

   Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until it is completely melted.

4. 4

   Pour the hot curd into a fine mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Press the mixture through using a spatula and scrape any curd clinging to the underside of the strainer into the bowl. Transfer the curd to a sealable container or bowl and store in the fridge until ready to use.
