Is Lemon Curd Keto?
Regular lemon curd is not keto (so much sugar), but this easy low carb lemon curd is keto friendly! Each tablespoon serving has just 1/2 gram of net carbs.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here I explain the best ingredients for keto-friendly lemon curd, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
Butter – Use unsalted. Lemons – You’ll need about 3-4 whole lemons, as we’re using both fresh lemon juice and zest. Egg Yolks – Using the yolks only gives this lemon curd a luxurious texture. Make sure they are at room temperature before you begin. Save the whites and make a keto lemon meringue pie or keto bread! Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – The best way to have all the sweetness of sugar without the sugar and carbs. Unlike other sweeteners (including erythritol and other brands of monk fruit sweetener), Besti dissolves completely and won’t crystallize, which is why it’s the only one I recommend for this sugar free lemon curd recipe. It’s also fine to use Besti Powdered — both versions dissolve easily. Sea Salt – To balance the sweetness.
