The uses are practically endless.
I used a Microplane zester to make the lemon zest in this recipe fine enough so that you don’t need to strain the zest from the curd after making.
That made life much easier and especially since I don’t seem to own a fine-mesh sieve. I will have to remember to put that gadget on my holiday gift list.
Common Questions About the Keto Sugar Free Lemon Curd Recipe
For the best results, I recommend using freshly squeezed lemons.
You can strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve if your lemon curd curdles.
If you did not use a micro zester then you may need to strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve.
You can add and stir in more sweetener to taste if needed.

Made the lemon curd tarts. Outstanding! We are going away with three other couples and I'm making several keto desserts among which will be the tarts. I will not tell them that they are keto, and they will never know. (Of course, I'll let them know after they rave about how delicious the tarts and.) My guess is they'll fight over who gets the last four, lol. Thanks for an amazing recipe. And you are right, the portions keep us from eating too much which in this case is very easy to do!
Stacey
Thank you, Marilyn, for trying the tarts, your very kind words & for sharing your experience. I know what you mean, if I made this into a whole pie, I would eat the whole pie, lol.
DeeAnn
Could this be canned and put on shelf like the stores? Would like to make for gifts- it’s so good thank you
Stacey
Hi Deann, I'm pretty sure it could be canned and vacuum-sealed and stored on a shelf if you have a pressure cooker or other canning process.
Kathy Franco
Does it thicken up after it’s cold?
Stacey
Kathy, yes, it does get thicker after refrigeration.
Donny
Looks so luscious! I could just eat it all with a spoon.

This is so delicious. We especially love it this time of year when the weather starts getting cooler and the fresh berries are still available in the markets - that last taste of sunshine! SO good with fresh berries and whipped cream! 🙂
