  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 2 egg yolks

Instructions lemon and strawberry curd

  • Clean the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Place them together with the lemon juice, grated lemon zest and 70 g of sugar in the small saucepan. Turn on the flame and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release the juice, become soft and begin to fall apart.
  • Turn off the heat and blend everything with the immersion blender. Pass the fruit through a sieve to remove the seeds and the grated lemon zest. From this ingredients I got about 250 ml of liquid.
  • In the saucepan you used to cook the strawberries, pour 1 tablespoon of potato starch and add 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks. Mix with a whisk until all the ingredients are well blended and there are no lumps.
  • Add the blended strawberries and mix. Place the liquid over medium-low heat. Stir continuously with a whisk until your curd thickens and has a custard-like consistency. Turn off the heat, add the oil and lactose-free butter and mix. Set aside to cool completely. Cover the surface withplastic wrap to avoid the formation of a dense and hard part.
