How To Make Lemon Curd Ritz Crackers

This easy lemon curd recipe is perfect for the sweet and savory flavor of Ritz crackers.

Prep: 5 mins

Chill Time:: 2 hrs

Cook: 15 mins

Total: 2 hrs 20 mins

Makes:

Ingredients

5 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
lemon zest, from 4 lemons
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pats and chilled
⅓ cup lemon juice

For Serving:

1 pkg Ritz Crackers

Instructions

Add enough water to a medium saucepan to come about 1-inch up the side.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium size metal bowl and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add juice and zest to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Once water reaches a simmer, reduce heat to low and place bowl on top of saucepan.
Bowl should be large enough to fit on top of saucepan without touching the water.
Whisk until thickened, approximately 8 minutes, or until mixture is light yellow and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove promptly from heat and stir in butter a piece at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next.
Remove to a clean container and cover by laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the curd.
Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Spread the curd onto Ritz crackers and serve to taste.
