Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Cup Granulated Sweetener (or preferred granulated sugar)
- 2 TB Corn Starch or Arrowroot Starch
- 1/4 Tsp Ground Turmeric
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Cup Full-Fat Unsweetened Canned Coconut Milk
- 1-2 Tsp Lemon Zest (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium non-stick saucepan, whisk together the sweetener and starch so there are no clumps.
- Add in the turmeric, lemon juice, and optional lemon zest, before turning the heat on the stove to medium. Mix everything together until combined and the sugar has melted.
- Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue stirring until you have a smooth, uniformly colored mixture. Stir the mixture every minute or so until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the lemon curd from the heat and allow it to cool before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge, up to 2 weeks, until ready to use.
Notes
- The curd will thicken up even more as it cools. If it seems too liquidy, you may have made an error, so carefully add 1 teaspoon at a time, of extra starch.
- If swapping the full-fat coconut milk with light canned coconut milk or another non-dairy milk of choice, your curd may need more starch to thicken properly OR you can add 2-3 tablespoons of vegan butter spread to make up for the lack of fat.
- If you'd like to freeze leftover curd, store it in a freezer-safe container with at least 1/2 inch of space from the top of the container. Freeze for up to 3 months for quality. Thaw it in the fridge before overnight or until defrosted.
