Preparation

Step 1

1. Put all ingredients EXCEPT the butter into the Vitamix. Start at Variable 1 and gradually increase to Variable 10. Blend for 5 minutes.

2. Reduce to Variable 3, remove the lid plug and add the pieces of butter through the lid. Blend for 30 more seconds.

3. Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate. The lemon curd will thicken as it cools.

Note: A regular blender will not cook the eggs in the way that a Vitamix will. The temperature of eggs that is safe to eat is 160 degrees F. If you don’t have a Vitamix or Blendtec then use the easy microwave method or a stovetop method.
