Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp lemon zest (, from around 2 lemons)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice ((125 ml))
- 1/3 cup raw organic honey ((80 g))
- 2 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup solid coconut oil ((40 g), in small pieces)
How to cook:
- Have a small pot with simmering water, cooking on the stove.
- Add all of the ingredients, except coconut oil, into a bowl. Mix with a hand whisk until everything is well combined. Place the bowl on top of the pot, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Cook for more or less for 10 minutes, whisking continuously. The lemon curd is cooked when it coats the back of a wooden spoon and when you run a finger across it, it leaves a trail.
- Remove from the heat. Immediately add in the solid coconut oil and continue whisking until everything is well mixed. Cover with cling film, making sure it's touching the lemon curd's surface. Chill in the fridge for minimum 2 hours. Give it a brief mix before using.

Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Meyer lemon zest
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 - 1/3 cup honey (1/4 cup was a bit too tart for me, so I used 1/3)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
- 6 tbsp coconut oil or grass-fed butter

- Zest the lemons. You may need 2. Squeeze the juice, measure 1/2 cup and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Whisk in the honey and lemon zest.
- Set over low - medium heat and whisk constantly until mixture is pale yellow and slightly thickened. If you have the heat too high, the eggs will start to cook too soon and become lumpy. But don't despair--If this happens, just turn the heat down, keep stirring and you'll be able to strain out the solids later. Be patient. This takes a while.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the coconut oil or butter, one tablespoon at a time. Keep stirring to prevent it from scorching on the bottom. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture has thickened and is just beginning to bubble. You'll think it will never happen . . . but it will. Don't let it boil.
- Remove from heat and strain through a sieve. Don't skip this step. You'll be surprised at the solids that remain in the sieve. Store in glass jars in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it cools.

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 C coconut oil
- zest of 2 lemons
- 1/3 C honey
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 C lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 3-4 lemons depending on size)
How to cook:
- Add the eggs, coconut oil, lemon zest, honey, salt, and lemon juice to a 2 quart non-stick saucepan. Using a silicon whisk, whisk together until all ingredients are combined. If your coconut oil is at a solid state and doesn't combine right away, that's ok - it will melt when you heat it.
- Continue to heat the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly until thickened. The lemon curd will thicken (to pudding consistency) after about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, transfer to glass containers and cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Ingredients:
- 1 14 oz can Savoy Coconut Cream, refrigerated
- 2 tbsp Lemon Zest (equivalent to 4 large lemons)
- 1/2 cup Lemon Juice (equivalent to 2 large lemons)
- 2 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill® Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup
- Ground Turmeric, just a small pinch or two
How to cook:
- Make the lemon curd
- To a small saucepan, add the coconut cream and lemon zest.
- Whisk
- In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and cornstarch together until fully dissolved and well combined.
- Bring to a boil
- Add to the pan along with the coconut cream mixture. Then add the maple syrup. Over medium heat, bring to a low bubble – not boiling – whisking often. (I watch the entire time; whisking more often than not).
- Cook
- Once is starts bubbling and getting thick, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, take a spoon, gently grazing the top of the mixture, and slide it from one side of the pan to the other. If some lemon curd gently forms at the other end that means it’s ready – remove from the heat. If not, cook for another 2-3 minutes and recheck.
- Taste for flavor
- Remove from the heat, taste and adjust the flavor accordingly, if needed. (Add more lemon for acidity, or more maple syrup for sweetness).
- Resting time
- Let rest for 15 minutes. At this time, you can add some turmeric. (Be careful though because if you add too much you will change the flavor of the curd completely. So add a small pinch at first. Give the mixture a good whisk. Then if it’s not yellow enough add another small pinch and stir again).
- Cover with plastic wrap
- Transfer to a glass bowl or large jar, and cover the curd with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap actually touches the entire curd. This will prevent a film from developing on top.
- Chill time
- Refrigerate for a good 4-6 hours, overnight, or until it is completely chilled and perfectly set.
- How to serve
- Serve the lemon curd over chia pudding (like my Lemon Curd Chia Parfaits), pancakes, waffles, scones, or eat it by itself with some berries and nuts.
