THIS HEALTHY VEGAN LEMON CURD IS CREAMY, SWEET, TART, AND DELICIOUS. YOU�D NEVER KNOW IT�S SUGAR FREE, LOW CARB, GLUTEN FREE, AND DAIRY FREE TOO!
Lemon Curd has been on my Recipe Wishlist for years now! I don�t know why it took me so long to make it�
Oh, wait, maybe it had something to do with all that butter, sugar, and egg yolks. BUT I finally made a batch, and while I was at it, I made healthier. I am SO glad I did!
My parents love lemon-flavored desserts so I knew they�d love this Lemon Curd. Years and years ago, they were fast food-eaters, soda-drinkers, and �everything unhealthy consumers.� They�ve adopted a healthier lifestyle since then, but are still suffering some of the effects from their old bad habits. They�re trying their best to improve their cholesterol levels and LDL:HDL ratio, and they try to avoid excess added sugar as much as possible. Of course, I didn�t want to make them a typical lemon curd filled with 1 heaping cup of sugar, 8 egg yolks, and 1� sticks of butter. Um, no thank you.
I am neutral to lemony desserts, it�s not really my favorite thing in the world (that�s what chocolate is for), but I�ll definitely eat this Vegan Lemon Curd. It�s just too good to pass up! After taste testing it along with some yogurt, I became a woman obsessed. After my parents taste tested it, they became just as obsessed as I was.
Let�s just say we finished the entire batch in a short two days. I think I�ll have to make a batch just for myself and not share. Shhh.
Just look at the creaminess. Make it for yourself and you�ll be so glad you did.
