Easy Vegan Lemon Curd

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch (+1 teaspoon for extra thick curd, optional—reader tip!)

1/2 cup plant-based milk (such as soy or almond)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

2 teaspoons lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)

1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional for colour)

Directions

In a small pot, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. (Use 1 tablespoon cornstarch for the consistency shown in the photos, or add an extra teaspoon for a thicker curd—a tip a few readers have recommended!) Now mix in the plant-based milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and turmeric. Put over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the curd thickens, about 5 minutes. You may need to whisk vigorously as it thickens to ensure a smooth curd.

Remove from heat and pour into a heat safe container to cool. Enjoy warm or store in the fridge for up to 1 week. It will thicken more as it cools.
