Lemon Curd – Sugar-Free & Dairy-Free

Mon 3rd Dec, 2018 - 10:18am by Emma Cockrell

This delicious recipe is adapted from Erica White’s Beat Candida Cookbook. Swapping the butter for coconut oil means this lemon curd can be enjoyed by those on a dairy-free diet. The coconut oil provides healthy fats, to help keep you feeling full, while the egg content provides valuable protein. If you need to keep oxalates low, leave out the grated lemon rind, and just rely on the lemon juice for a tangy taste.

Ingredients:

• 25g of coconut oil
• Juice of one lemon
