Homemade Lemon Curd

Although lemon curd can be purchased jarred in most grocery stores, it can be easily made and is amazingly delicious. Combine 4 large egg yolks and ⅔ cup erythritol sweetener in a small pot over low heat. Whisk in ⅔ cup fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest. Slowly whisk in 3 ¾ tablespoons unsalted butter, ¾ tablespoon at a time. Stir continuously until combined and thickened. Strain through a sieve and store covered until ready to use for up to one week.
