Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice (or, alternatively, bottled)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar (i prefer unrefined cane or xylitol)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch (i used arrowroot flour)
  • 2 tbsp vegan margarine (i used earth balance)

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, sugar, lemon zest (if using) and salt, stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
  2. After the sugar is dissolved, add the cornstarch mixture and the coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
  3. Stirring constantly, cook until the mixture begins to thicken and the first few bubbles appear on the surface, about 8 minutes.
  4. Add the vegan margarine, and cook, stirring constantly, for several minutes more, or until the mixture resembles a thick pudding.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a heat proof dish, cover the surface of the curd with plastic wrap and let cool completely before placing in the refrigerator to chill.
  6. Chill lemon curd for 2 hours in the refrigerator before using.
