📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat up about 2 inches of water in the bottom of a double boiler.
2
Add the egg yolks and sugar to the top pan of the double boiler and whisk well to combine. Whisk in the lemon juice and place it on top of the steam, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the simmering water below.

Continue to gently whisk for a few minutes making sure the curd doesn’t stick to the bottom. About ⏱️ 10 minutes, until it thickens up enough to coat the back of a spoon.
4
Remove pan from the steam and whisk in the cold butter until melted. Add the lemon zest and stir to combine.

Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, making sure it touches the surface. This will prevent the curd from forming a crust. Refrigerate until ready to use.
