Instructions

  • Zest three lemons, and juice 5 lemons. Place lemon juice through a metal strainer to remove seeds, and pulp.
  • Add the almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, corn starch, and turmeric to a small to medium saucepan over medium heat.

Notes

  1. Recipe will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  2. I don't recommend substituting the sugar for coconut sugar or maple syrup. This will discolor the curd, and also have an effect on the structure and consistency.
