This simple and easy Homemade Key Lime Curd recipe is just the thing to fill your cupcakes with, slather on your toast, or eat straight out of the jar!

Ingredients  


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.

Notes

Slightly Adapted from Alaska from Scratch.
