Vegan Lemon Curd

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, plant-based milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Thicken: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to form a slurry. Gradually add this mixture into the saucepan while whisking continuously.

Cook: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and reaches a custard-like consistency. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Add Butter/Oil: Once the mixture thickens, remove from the heat and stir in the vegan butter or coconut oil until fully incorporated. This adds richness and smoothness to the curd.

Adjust Flavor: Add a pinch of salt and adjust the sweetness or tartness as needed, adding more sugar or lemon juice to your taste.

Cool and Store: Let the lemon curd cool to room temperature, then transfer to a jar or container. Refrigerate for up to 1-2 weeks.

Enjoy your Vegan Lemon Curd on toast, in pastries, or as a sweet, tangy topping for cakes and desserts
