Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp (24g) cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp ground turmeric
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp (28g) vegan butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and turmeric together in a small saucepan. Add the coconut milk and lemon juice, then whisk until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  3. Strain into a bowl or jar, then whisk in the vegan butter, lemon zest, and vanilla until glossy. Press plastic wrap onto the surface and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  4. Peel off the plastic, top with fresh lemon zest, and serve chilled.

Notes

Chilling time is not included in the prep or cook time; give the curd at least 2 hours in the fridge to set completely. Keep the plastic wrap directly on the surface or a skin will form on the curd as it cools.
