Hiya friends! It’s spring season and I am all about the lemon recipes! Last week I brought you my delicious vegan lemon bars, and this week it’s about the vegan lemon curd! This vegan lemon curd is sweet, tart, lemony, and creamy. It’s a delicious spread to slather on toast and biscuits, or topped onto coconut yogurt or chia pudding.
The recipe requires just 7 ingredients to make, and takes less than 10 minutes. It’s such an easy recipe!
So, let me tell you exactly how to make it!
This vegan lemon curd recipe is:
If you love sweet lemon treats than you are going to love this spread. It’s like a delicious spreadable meringue. I could eat it by the spoonful! My favourite way to enjoy lemon meringue is slathered onto bread or scones, and scooped onto yogurt or chia pudding. Think of it as a substitute for jam, featuring lemons!
It is so easy to make vegan lemon curd.
Simply add all the ingredients to a saucepan and cook on medium-heat until thickened to a custard consistency and gelatinous texture, about 10 minutes.
Typically, lemon curd uses egg yolks. But this recipe uses no eggs, of course. It’s thickened using arrowroot flour and I’ve added a pinch of turmeric or it’s beautiful yellow hue. You won’t believe how similar the taste and texture is to the real deal, without eggs!
If you prefer, you can substitute corn starch for the arrowroot flour. They’re both great thickening agents, and gives the lemon filling its perfect meringue texture. Here’s a guide to thickening agents from Food52.
This tangy spread is delicious served with scones, or topped on coconut yogurt, chia pudding, pancakes or waffles.
You can also use it as a filling for a vegan lemon cake or shortbread cookies (recipe for those coming soon!).
