I’d never had lemon curd before and had no idea what to expect from the traditional, sugary recipe I adapted for Paleo diets. What I got was a delightfully tart pudding that just has to be paired with sweet cream (or sweetened yogurt) and fresh fruit. This is a lovely little dish that’d be perfect for entertaining! I absolutely love the combination of strawberries and tart lemon curd. But you can absolutely use any fruit you like here! Bananas, pineapple, raspberries, cherries… anything that pairs well with lemon!

Lemon Curd
- Whisk together the eggs and honey until thoroughly combined. Whisk in the lemon juice and zest.
- Heat over medium-low in a saucepan, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding.
- Pour through a fine-mesh sieve, pushing it through with a spoon, into a heat-safe dish.
- Stir in the oil. Cover with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly on top of the curd. Refrigerate until cold.
Parfaits
