Servings 1 cup

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, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk to a medium pot; stir to fully combine all of the ingredients.
  • 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.
