Vegan Lemon Curd…

The lemon season is here! I have been craving Lemon Curd/Lemon Butter since I left the UK and thought there should be an easy way to make a vegan version of it! So here it is:

Ingredients: 

1 cup of fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup of water
1 1/2 cups of sugar
4 Tbsp Cornstarch
a pinch of salt
a tsp. of lemon zest
1/3 cup soy milk
125 gr. Coppha

Instructions:

1. Boil the juice, water, sugar and starch. Once it has reached the boiling point add the remaining ingredients and whisk until it thickens.
2. Fill the Lemon Curd into empty marmalade glasses (sterile) and let it cool.
3. Enjoy on Pancakes, Crumpits, or Toast! It will stay fresh for a while in your fridge but be careful as it is preservative free it will go bad quiet easily. I usually use it up by making lemon tarts and cakes.
