Marios Coconut Lemon Curd Recipes

MARIO'S COCONUT LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with enough water to come about 1 inch up the side. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Combine eggs, coconut oil, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. Set the bowl on top of the saucepan so it is over, but not touching, the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd is smooth and the consistency of pudding, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove bowl from the saucepan and continue whisking curd until slightly cooled, 2 to 3 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold and slightly thickened, about 1 hour.

COCONUT LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake coconut on a baking sheet until dry but not golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, both zests, and salt. Whisk in egg yolks, then both lemon juices. Add butter and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and bubbles are forming in center of pan, about 9 minutes.
• Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface of curd. Let cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate until very firm and cold, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Before using, whisk to loosen, then stir in coconut.
