Vegan Lemon Curd (creme de limão vegano)

Vegan Lemon Curd:
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (1-2 large lemons)
  • 2 Tbsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 cup sugar (plus more to taste) (can be also made with maple syrup)
  • A pinch of turmeric powder (for colour)
Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan, and stir with a whisk. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat. Keep whisking until is thick and smooth.

Taste and add more lemon zest if you want to increase the acidity of the curd or maple syrup/ sugar for sweetness.

Allow it to cool (the curd is going to thicken as it cools).

Place in a jar and store in the fridge for 7-10 days

Use as a topping, filling or literally  with a spoon by itself out of the jar

 

PT:
Creme de Limão Vegano:
  • 1/2 caneca de sumo de limão (~ 1 -2 limões grandes)
  • 2 colheres de sopa de raspas de casca de limão (opcional)
  • 4 colheres de sopa de amido de milho
  • 1 caneca de leite vegetal
  • 1 caneca de açúcar  (ou mais a gosto) (pode-se usar outro qualquer adoçante)
  • Uma pitada de tumérico em pó (para dar cor)

Combinar todos os ingredientes num liquidificador até estar homogêneo.

Colocar a mistura numa panela média e ir mexendo com uma vara de arames.
Quando começar a ferver retirar do lume.
Continuar a mexer até ficar espesso e macio.

Provar e adicionar mais raspas de limão, para aumentar a acidez ou açúcar para que fique mais doce.

Deixar arrefecer (o creme de limão vai engrossar enquanto arrefece).

Guardar no frigorifico de preferência em frascos de vidro esterilizados. 
Aguenta no frigorífico por 7 a 10 dias.

    Love the look of this. Lemon curd is a favourite of mine, but haven’t been able to make a good one without eggs. I am going to try it out for sure. Thanks for sharing 🙂
