Lime Curd (Vegan)
This lime curd is sweet, tangy, dairy-free, and egg-free. A perfect addition to cakes, ice cream and baked goods. It's too easy to not give it a try.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp / 90 grams plant based milk
- 3/4 cup / 150 grams cane sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp plant based butter
Instructions
- Add the sugar and cornstarch to a small pot; whisk to combine.
- Add the lime juice, lime zest and milk to the pot; whisk to combine.
- Set the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer; stirring occasionally. The mixture will begin to change color (greenish) and thicken.We want the consistency to be thick yet pourable ( remember it thickens as it cools). Once the curd has reached the desired thickness, remove the pot from the heat and add the butter. Stir the butter in until fully incorporated.
- Pour the curd into a heat proof container and allow to cool to room temperature before covering and storing in the refrigerator.The curd can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; it can be stored in the freezer for a few months.
