Easy Lemon Curd - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons butter

Preparation

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar and eggs.
Stir in butter and cook over medium-low heat whisking vigorously and continuously until the curd is thick enough to hold a ripple mark when the whisk is lifted from the curd and the first bubbles appear on the surface (this should take about 6-7 minutes).
Transfer to a bowl then cover the curd using plastic wrap spread directly over the curd.
Chill for a minimum of 2 hours before using or up to 1 week.
