Mango-Lime Curd

This is a super-easy curd recipe that doesn't require straining, thermometers, boiling water, or anything else difficult. The food processor step and the low microwave settings do this for you! I use this as a filling in coconut-lime cupcakes with coconut-cream cheese frosting. Also fabulous by itself!

• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine mango, lime juice, and lime zest in the bowl of a food processor. Process until pureed. Add eggs, salt, and nutmeg; process 15 seconds longer.

Step 2

Combine sugar and butter in a bowl. Add to mango mixture in the food processor. Process until smooth.

Step 3

Transfer mixture to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes; stir with a whisk. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes more; whisk again. Continue heating and whisking until the mixture achieves a pudding-like consistency, 6 to 10 minutes total. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
