Once you discover how simple it is to whip up your own lemon curd at home, you will never buy another jar at the store again.<\/p>\n

Some online recipes make it seem complicated, but in truth it could not be easier. Just bring your three ingredients to a boil and stir until thick.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s really all there is to it!<\/p>\n

With minimal effort required, you get a thick and absolutely delicious eggless lemon curd perfect for topping ice cream, cheesecake, or eating with a spoon.<\/p>\n

Lemon curd without eggs<\/h3>\n

The main ingredient in traditional lemon curd is egg yolks, and many recipes also call for egg whites or butter.<\/p>\n

My goal was to create a healthy vegan version with the same tart flavor and smooth texture of the original.<\/p>\n

In order to retain the same basic flavor profile, I used all of the same ingredients present in traditional lemon curd, with the exception of eggs.<\/p>\n

The results were even better than I hoped. If you do not know this recipe is vegan ahead of time, you will never be able to guess. It tastes exactly like classic lemon curd!<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

All you need for the recipe are lemon juice, sweetener of choice, and cornstarch, plus water and an optional pinch of ground turmeric for color.<\/p>\n

Lemon juice \u2013<\/strong> Use either fresh squeezed lemon juice or lemon juice from a jar. For even more lemon flavor, feel free to add the zest of one lemon after heating.<\/p>\n

Sugar \u2013<\/strong> This can be classic white sugar, unrefined coconut sugar, or xylitol or granulated erythritol for a version with no sugar added.<\/p>\n

Cornstarch \u2013 <\/strong>Instead of eggs or heavy cream, two tablespoons of cornstarch thicken the plant based lemon curd.<\/p>\n

For keto lemon curd with no cornstarch, try experimenting with potato starch, arrowroot, or xanthan gum. And let me know how it goes if you do!<\/p>\n

Water \u2013<\/strong> I tested both water and nondairy milk in the recipe and found that water works just as well as almond milk or oat milk.<\/p>\n

If you want an even creamier fruit curd, replace the water with canned coconut milk.<\/p>\n

Optional ingredients \u2013<\/strong> Some vegan lemon curd recipes include vegan butter for added richness. I found this was not needed, but you can absolutely stir in a tablespoon or two of plant based butter if you wish.<\/p>\n

To achieve a beautiful golden color, I did opt to include just an eighth teaspoon of ground turmeric. You may use a few drops of natural yellow food coloring or omit this ingredient entirely if you prefer.<\/p>\n
