Microwave Lemon Curd Recipe

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and eggs until well combined.

Microwave the mixture for 1 minute on high heat, then whisk well.

Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, whisking well after each interval, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Once thickened, remove the bowl from the microwave and slowly pour in the melted butter, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.

Allow the lemon curd to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
