- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, erythritol, and lemon zest over medium heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.

- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated.
- Strain the lemon curd through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps and zest.
