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 🙂

Thank you for this recipe, it’s looking so tasty and smooth.
I just wanna ask one question, can I use vanilla extract or stevia extract( liquid)
instead of natvia (or Erythritol)?
FatForWeightLoss says
I haven’t tried it, so you’ll have to test this yourself.
Hayley Wilson says
Hello,
Great recipe thank you! I can’t wait to make it.
Minor question please, does the size of the eggs matter? Did you use medium or large?

Will work with both 🙂

Hi, I noticed someone on Instagram using your photo as if it were their own. How do I send you the info so you can make a copyright/intellectual property claim?

Pam from New Hampshire, USA here. Just made this and it is AMAZING!! I follow the Atkins plan. I don’t understand how you only get 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving. Each lemon has 3.9 grams per lemon on the juice alone according to the nutrition information I have. I divided the batch into 5 servings and it came to 3.7 grams. Just curious is all.
Martina says
I, too, got 4 grams per serving when I divided it into 4 servings.
Keto Kerrie says
Made this this morning. FABULOUS recipe! Just wondering how much in grams is 1 serving? I know it’s 258kcals but I’m not sure as to how much each serving weighs. Cheers for a great recipe btw!
Lauren Knipe says
