Lemon Curd Recipe

 

This recipe is one of my favourites, especially for cake fillings and buttercreams.

Lemon curd can be used for pies, squares, cakes or to give any dessert a zesty and tangy twist.

1. Mix the cornstarch with the milk, water, sugar, zest and lemon juice in a pot.
2. Combine until smooth.
3. Cook the mixture on medium heat, keep stirring until it becomes a thick jam.
4. Turn off the heat, and add the coconut oil
