Ingredients
- -2 large eggs
- -2 large egg yolks
- -100 g sugar
- -1/4 teaspoon salt
- -300g raspberries fresh or frozen
- -1 lemon, juiced,
- -120 g butter cold, cut into small cubes (if using salted butter don’t add extra salt)
Directions
- Step 1
- In a saucepan, add and whisk the egg yolks, whole eggs, salt, and sugar.
- Step 2
- Add the raspberries and lemon juice into the pan.
- Step 3
- Heat on medium-low heat, stirring constantly. You want to heat it until it comes to a simmer and thickens, for about 10 minutes. Make sure to keep stirring so it doesn’t burn.
- Step 4
- Strain the raspberry curd through a mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the seeds.
- Step 5
- Transfer the raspberry curd into a bowl or jar, add all the butter and stir to melt. Once smooth and melted, place a piece of plastic film or parchment paper right onto the surface so that the curd doesn’t form a film. If your butter doesn’t melt you can heat it up again in the saucepan on low heat to speed up the process and then transfer to a bowl.
- Step 6
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until it becomes cold and thick. Enjoy!
