ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 3 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 orange
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- Pinch of salt
steps
- 1.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
- 2.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, orange zest, sugar, butter, matcha powder, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
- 3.
Slowly pour the hot mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
- 4.
Pour the tempered mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the curd thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- 5.
Remove from heat and strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or zest.
- 6.
Allow the curd to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a glass jar or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- 7.
Serve the creamy green citrus curd chilled and spread it on toast, scones, or use it as a filling in cakes or pastries.
