Servings: 8

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup agave nectar

4 extra large eggs

1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Equipment:

double boiler

pot

bowl

plastic wrap

sieve

Cooking instruction summary:

Put the eggs and the agave nectar in the top part of a double boiler. (A note: I make a double boiler out of a pot and a heat-proof bowl. For this, I used a stock pot and a large glass bowl that fit partially inside the pot.) Bring a small amount of water to boil in the bottom of the double boiler. While the water is coming to a boil, beat the eggs and the agave nectar with a hand-held mixer on high speed until they’re light yellow and ribbon, or rest on top of the mixture for a second before disappearing when you lift the beaters.Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest, then put the top of the double boiler on the pot with the water boiling gently. The bowl should not touch the water. Beat on medium high speed until the mixture thickens and reaches 140 degrees F. Take the lemon curd off the double boiler and beat in the butter 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Push through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl, place plastic wrap directly on the curd, and refrigerate until chilled. Once chilled, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
