Sugar-Free Keto Lemon Curd Recipe

You’ll want to put this keto lemon curd on just about anything. It’s incredibly light and refreshing, and the perfect addition to your favorite keto desserts like ice cream, cheesecake, and even just whipped cream. In some ways, it’s similar to the filling in keto lemon meringue pie.

This low carb sugar-free lemon curd recipe uses just 4 ingredients and takes just 5 minutes to make. Make it ahead – it’s easily stored in the fridge.

Is Lemon Curd Keto?

Regular lemon curd is not keto (so much sugar – learn why sugar is bad here), but this easy low carb lemon curd is keto friendly! Each tablespoon serving has just 1/2 gram of net carbs.

How To Make Keto Lemon Curd

This keto friendly lemon curd takes just 5 minutes:

• Melt butter. Add butter to a saucepan and melt over low heat.

• Mix keto lemon filling ingredients. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, egg yolks, Besti monk fruit sweetener, lemon zest, and salt.

• Reduce. Return to low-medium heat and whisk continuously until the sugar-free lemon curd thickens.

TIP: If you want it even thicker, sprinkle some xanthan gum over it, then whisk.

Can I Make Sugar-Free Lemon Curd With A Different Sweetener?

Yes, there are a few other sweeteners that will work. For best results, use monk fruit allulose blend or plain allulose. These dissolve best, so that you get a smooth result.

If you want to use an erythritol-based sweetener, you can use powdered monk fruit erythritol blend or powdered erythritol. Notice that both are powdered, which helps them dissolve. Erythritol does not dissolve as well as allulose does.

Your keto lemon curd will be gritty if the sweetener does not dissolve, which is why allulose-based sweeteners are recommended for this recipe.

How Can I Use Low Carb Lemon Curd?

There are a number of ways to use sugar-free lemon curd:

• Fold it into keto whipped cream for a light and bright keto dessert.
• Serve over keto vanilla ice cream.
• Spread on your favorite keto toast.
• Dollop onto slices of keto cheesecake.
• Used as a filling for low carb vanilla cake.
• Put on ricotta cheese for an easy dessert.

How To Store Sugar-Free Lemon Curd

Store this sugar-free lemon curd in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.
