Total time:
Serves: 6
- 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.
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat while stirring constantly until just boiling. Refrigerate until cool and thick.
