Directions
1. Grate orange and lemon zest.
2. Juice two lemons to get one quarter cup of lemon juice.
3. Juice oranges to get one quarter cup of orange juice.
MAKING
4. In a bowl, mix both the juices and add lemon zest to it. Mix well.
5. Transfer the contents of the bowl to a saucepan and heat it over medium heat.
6. While the juice is heating whisk half a cup of sugar and two eggs until well combined.
7. When citrus juice is steaming, remove from flame and add it to the sugar and egg mixture, whisking it constantly.
8. Add this mixture back to the saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. This takes around three minutes.
9. Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in cold butter. Stir them in one at a time.
10. Add heavy cream and stir well.
11. Strain through a fine strainer and collect it in a bowl.
12. Cover with plastic wrap such that the plastic covers the upper layer of the curd so that the skin doesn’t form.
13. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
SERVING
14. Creamy Citrus Curd can be used as a filling for tarts, pies, and cakes or served as it is.
Editors Review
It is a treat for all the people having a sweet tooth. Though it is called curd, but the recipe is completely dairy-free. So, it can be the right dessert to serve to the people having dairy-allergy.Chef
