Description: In cooking class we of course get to eat the food we are learning how to cook. Another classmate of mine announced this was the best thing he ever ate. Beware It is ADDICTING.
Ingredients
5 egg yolks
1 cup of sugar
4 lemons, zested
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 stick of butter, cut into pieces and chilled
1. Add enough water to a medium saucepan to come about 1 inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium/high heat.
2. Combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium size metal bowl and whisk until smooth about one minute.
3. Add juice and zest to egg mixture and whisk smooth.
4. Once water reaches a simmer, reduce heat to low and place bowl on top of sauce pan.
5. Whisk until thickened, about 8 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time, allow each addition to melt before adding the next.
7. Put in desired container. Cover by laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the lemon curd to avoid forming a skin on the top of the curd.
