Ingredients
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1. Combine all ingredients in a double boiler (or in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water, like I did).
  • 2. Heat while stirring constantly with a whisk.
  • 3. It is done when it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. You will be able to tell it has thickened, but I wouldn’t say that it’s “thick.”
  • 4. Refrigerate until cool and thick.
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat while stirring constantly until just boiling. Refrigerate until cool and thick.
