This Key lime curd is indispensable. I serve it straight up in individual bowls for a decadent creamy treat and also use it to make Key Lime Ice Cream and Key Lime Lollies. If you can’t find Key limes, you can substitute regular lime juice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener or equivalent amount of liquid or powdered sweetener
- ½ cup Key lime juice
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest, for garnish (optional)
How to Make It
- Place the sweetener, lime juice, and eggs in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk to combine. Add the butter and set over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and thickly coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium-sized bowl. Place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water and whisk occasionally until the curd has cooled completely, about 15 minutes.
- Serve in individual bowls, garnished with lime zest, if desired.
