Lime (or lemon) curd is a great way to use up eggs. I use whole eggs, but if you have some left over yolks you that works too. I also had some yogurt made with whipping cream left over from the holidays, which went perfectly with this.
Lime Curd with Fruit and Whipped Yogurt
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
Lime Curd
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter or ghee melted
Topping
- 1 cup fresh berries
- 1 cup plain yogurt (SCD) - made with whipped cream
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Lime Curd
-
Add all curd ingredients to large bowl or stand mixer bowl (make sure butter is not hot enough to cook the eggs)
-
Mix on medium speed for 4 - 5 minutes until eggs lighten in color
-
Add mixture to small sauce pan
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, for 10 - 20 minutes until mixture thickens - it should coat the back of the spoon and be like pudding
-
Pour mixture into serving dishes - you can use whatever you like - individual or larger dishes
-
Allow to cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving
Topping
-
Layer berries over chilled lime curd
-
Add whipping cream yogurt, vanilla, and honey to bowl
-
Whip on high speed until yogurt thickens and forms soft peaks (just like regular whipped cream - it will be a little heavier)
-
Spread whipped yogurt over fruit
Recipe Notes
You can also make a tart crust and prepare as a pie if desired.
