Ingredients
Recipe yields 26 servings
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the coconut milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and turmeric and whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the curd thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and transfer the curd to a heat-safe container to cool completely. Cover the curd with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic wrap touches the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 3
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
