Dairy-Free Lemon Curd

Instructions

• Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and heat until barely simmering.
• Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, egg yolks, and salt together in a glass bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd foams, then thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the simmering water. Gradually whisk in coconut oil until melted and incorporated.
• Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids left in the strainer. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent skin from forming. Refrigerate until set and chilled, at least 2 hours.
