Homemade lemon curd

It is unbelievably easy to prepare lemon curd at home. This is my 100% foolproof recipe:

 

You will need (for a small jar):

 

2 eggs - room temperature

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/3 cup sugar

60g butter, cut into small cubes

 

Mix the eggs, lemon juice and sugar in a small pot and cook - always whisking - over low heat until the mixture thickens. Don't allow the mixture to come to a boil or it can curdle

Remove it from heat and add the butter cubes, one at a time, whisking well until creamy. It will look a bit runny but it will thicken when cold. Keep in the fridge.
