The perfect keto lemon curd is one that tastes good by itself, however, this keto lemon curd is also delicious as a spread for keto toast, keto scones or to sandwich together with a keto sponge cake. It’s a perfect gift for a friend (even if they are not keto).
4 Ingredient Keto Lemon Curd
This keto dessert is so simple. It only has 4 different ingredients, how great is that? Honestly, I was really surprised at how amazing this recipe tastes, and it’s very hard to get wrong. The sweetener balances the acidity of the lemon flavour, it leaves you wanting more!
Using Fresh Free Range Eggs
Lemon is such a fantastic colour, combined with the yolks of a few homegrown chicken eggs, its such a vibrant yellow colour!
This comes entirely from the colour of the lemons and the egg yolks, so if you’re looking for a vibrant colour in your curd, it is best to use good quality fresh free range eggs.
The colour of egg yolks usually depends more on a chickens diet more so than the quality of it’s life, however by buying good quality eggs, you are supporting quality farms, they are better for you, and better for the chickens.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoyed creating it. You’re seriously going to love this recipe, and if you don’t go and make this, I’m doing something wrong! So don’t let me down 🙂

I followed the instructions from the YouTube video. I found the 1/2 cup erythritol WAY too sweet and would only use 1/4 cup next time. Also, I used 1/4 cup salted butter and it was not too salty.

I live the USA, in Forida, where lemons grow enormous. Each lemon squeezes out between 6-8 fluid ounces of juice. I get so many that I juice them all and freeze in large jars. I would like a measure of how much juice to use, compared to how much you expect to obtain from 4 lemons in your recipe. Then I can figure how much juice to thaw and use. Can you help? Metric measures are fine.

Looks like a wonderful recipe, I can’t wait to try it! I think the macros for the protein might need adjusted. Your macros say there is 1 g of protein per serving. There are 7 g of protein per egg, and close to 3 g of protein for the egg yolk. My calculations would estimate about 6 g of protein per serving.
