Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine sugar, lemon juice, egg, and egg yolk in a blender and blitz briefly. While the blender is running, pour in the melted butter. Allow to blend just until smooth (may be a little frothy).
Step 2
Pour lemon curd into a large 4-cup glass measurer (or another Instant Pot® safe container that you can cover). Cover the measuring cup with foil.
Step 3
Place the trivet inside the Instant Pot® and pour 1 1/2 cups of water around.
Step 4
Carefully remove the container from the Instant Pot®, and discard the foil. Use a whisk to whip the mixture until it comes together and is even and smooth (if it gets a little lumpy or curdled for a minute, keep whisking until it smoothes out).
Step 5
Lemon curd will be thin will it is warm but will thicken quite a bit as it sets up and cools. Refrigerate in a sealed container once cooled.
Step 6
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 7
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
