🍯🍋Honey Lemon Curd

Frankly, I don’t want to live a life without desserts like lemon curd. This is one of the reasons why I follow a pro-metabolic way-of-eating, and not keto. Also, eating a little honey helps with electrolytes, sleep, and muscle cramping - our ancestors ate honey and fruit. This recipe is healthy and divine, although it is fairly high-fat. But what a great treat for a refeed day!

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/4 C honey, preferably raw

1 T butter, cut into small pieces

2 t lemon zest, finely grated

1/2 C lemon juice (about 2-3 large lemons)

dash sea salt

Instructions:

Mince the lemon zest with a food processor or a sharp knife. Cream the butter in the food processor, or use a hand mixer or whisk. Add the zest, honey, lemon juice, salt, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into a small saucepan and cook over low heat, whisking constantly until the curd coats the back of a spoon (just before a simmer) or reaches 165 degrees. Remove from the heat, add the butter pieces, and stir another minute. Pour into small custard cups and refrigerate until cool. Enjoy!
