Ingredients

▢
3
large eggs
▢
3/4
cup
granulated sugar
▢
1/4
cup
key lime juice
8-10 key limes
▢
1
tablespoon
key lime zest
▢
1/4
teaspoon
kosher salt
▢
4
tablespoon
unsalted butter
Instructions
In a small pot, off the burner, whisk together eggs and sugar until well blended.
Whisk in key lime juice, zest, and salt.
Place the pot on a burn on medium-low heat and stir fast and constantly with wooden spoon until mixture is warmed through.
Add the butter a tablespoon at a time until melted and curd becomes smooth.
Continue stirring constantly until curd thickens and looks almost creamy.
The curd is done once it coats the back of a spoon.
Optional Step: Strain curd through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove zest pieces and any clumps.
Tightly seal the bowl with a cover or cling wrap and place in the fridge until completely cooled.
Once cooled, spoon about a tablespoon or a little less into the holes you cored out in the cupcakes.
