Sugar-Free Vegan Lemon Curd

[@michellefox7441]

Okay, Instructions: #8 "Will last for a couple of weeks in the fridge". I believe you, but I'll never know for sure 😆This is seriously great! I made a bunch of recipes for weekly meal prep and I had this chilling in the fridge while the Ginger Snap Molasses cookies were cooling on the counter and the Classic Vegan Cheesecake was firming up in the freezer. Y'all see where I'm going here... It was also very good drizzled over the Cheesecake. Thank you Jill. This is really really good!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Wow Michelle! That is impressive 🙌🏻❤️ It really makes our day to hear how much you are enjoying the recipes 😊😊

[@biobrigita2]

I'm not vegan or vegetarian (yet) but never liked the idea of lemon curd having eggs in there as we can't use the whole lot in a short amount of time, so this is just perfect. Love it.

[@kijo3401]

Thank you for this recipe, it is exactly what I was looking for! No egg, butter or sugar...perfection! UPDATE: Ok it has been a few hours since I watched the video and I have since actually made this and followed directions step by step and this stuff is AMAZING... like crazy good! Like Lemon Crack LOL. THANK YOU AGAIN!

Your classic "cheesecake" can easily be transformed into a lemon "cheesecake". For Christmas, I intend to try out that idea. I'll double the lemon curd recipe. Half of that will be the topping and the other half will be folded into the filling.

With a tiny bit of heating and topped with a dollop of coconut whipped cream it would make a divine warm pudding too.

[@manon562]

@@biobrigita2 That would be an even better idea than turmeric. It tastes much better as well.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

I add kala namak to most things that are usually made with eggs, e.g. in my pancakes and it is just sooooo good. Sometimes I don’t think of the egg flavor as something positive though (as some versions of pasta carbonara, where it really tasted too much egg yolk, esp. versions made with milk or cream to be very rich - yuck), then I leave it out. And I just LOVE using flax «eggs» and also besan flour «eggs», depending on what I’m making. Today I tried something new, I made pancakes with half besan, half whole wheat flour and added carrot powder and kala namak. It wasn’t all successful, BUT, what really surprised me, was the wet and creamy texture it got, so egg-like. Just like wet, creamy scrambled eggs, which i for sure did not expect! It may just be something to experiment more with... I guess I have to make more carrot powder soon, ai just loooove powders! ☺️

I'm not going vegan anytime soon, and I love the crap out of lemon curd. Problem is when you use egg yolks, it eventually has that nasty sulfur-ish smell from the eggs and it reduces shelf life.
