This is so tangy and slightly sweet! I break from traditional curds by using bottled juice and no zest. But the bottled Key Lime juice gives it a great flavor depth!

Ingredients For key lime curd

  • 3/4 c
    bottled key lime juice
  • 5 lg
    eggs
  • 1 1/4 c
    sugar
  • 1 1/2 stick
    salted butter, cut into even tablespoons

How To Make key lime curd

  • 1
    In sauce pot, combine juice, sugar, and eggs with a whisk.
  • 2
    Turn onto medium heat, and while whisking continuously, cook for 15 minutes.
  • 3
    Remove from heat. Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon chunk at a time until melted and incorporated before adding next piece. If using salt add now.
  • 4
    Pour through fine mesh strainer into glass bowl to remove any chunks of cooked egg.
