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 it.

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

Can I use lemon concentrate instead of fresh lemon juice in the recipe?

For the best results, I recommend using freshly squeezed lemons.

What do I do if my lemon curd curdles?

You can strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve if your lemon curd curdles.

What do I do if my lemon zest turned out too large and not fine enough?

If you did not use a micro zester then you may need to strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve.

What do I do if my lemon curd is sour and not sweet enough?

You can add and stir in more sweetener to taste if needed.

Equipment

Ingredients

3 large eggs room temperature
⅔ cup powdered low carb sweetener
½ cup fresh lemon juice juice of about 2 large lemons
1 ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest use a Microplane zester to grate fine enough so no straining of curd is needed.
4 tablespoon butter room temperature diced

Instructions

In a small saucepan (not heated yet), combine sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and whole eggs. Whisk until combined.
Add the butter and cook over medium-low heat, while stirring continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the first bubble appears and the curd is thick enough to hold marks of the whisk or spoon, about 4-7 minutes.
Strain with a mesh strainer if needed. Transfer the warm lemon curd to a jar and cover the surface with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate until cold, then remove the plastic wrap and replace it with a lid. The lemon curd will keep fresh in the refrigerator for about 1 week. Makes just under 2 cups.

Notes

Tips:

Try to use fresh lemon juice for lemon curd, not the store-bought prepared concentrate variety for a better-tasting result.

Don’t use aluminum or unlined copper pans or spoons when heating the curd. They could have a reaction with the acids in the lemons and can discolor the curd and create a metallic aftertaste.
