Low FODMAP Lemon Curd
Sweet, smooth and just a little bit tart – what is not to love about this low FODMAP lemon curd! I completely understand why my mum loves lemon curd so much and how a whole jar can disappear in an afternoon.
This lemon curd is perfect on gluten free toast, as a filling for a dessert pie, or served on top of low FODMAP ice cream.
I normally get about 16 serves (about 1 & 1/2 tablespoons per serve) from this low FODMAP recipe if I am having it on toast or low FODMAP icecream. This recipe makes 1.5 cups of lemon curd.

Method
- Zest the lemons. I used a microplane to make sure the zest is nice and fine. You want to only zest the top yellow layer and not the bitter white layer underneath. Then juice the lemons.
- Place the whole eggs, egg yolks, and white sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Place over low heat.
- Add the dairy free spread (olive oil spread or butter), lemon juice and lemon zest to the saucepan. Cook on low until the dairy free spread has completely melted, stirring continuously.
- Turn the heat up to medium. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens (this should take 5 to 7 minutes). Once you start to see tiny little bubbles rising to the surface you will know it's done.
- If the lemon zest hasn't disappeared into the curd then you will need to sieve it immediately. Then place the lemon curd in a sterilised jar. Place in the fridge. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
- The curd will last up to two weeks in the fridge. The lemon curd is delicious on gluten free toast, as a filling for a dessert pie, or used as topping on low FODMAP ice cream.
