• Zest of 1 lemon
• 3 eggs – save the whites for later use in this recipe
• 4 egg yolks

• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 stick (2 oz) cold butter diced

Combine sugar and zest – then add the eggs and yolks,  lemon juice, lime juice.  Whisk together well.

Cook and whisk until thick as sour cream about 5-6 minutes

Remove and pour into a food processor.

Add the butter and pulse for 10 seconds until well combined.

Pour into a bowl and set aside

Prepare 6 4″ ramekins by buttering them and coating in sugar and set aside.

To the lemon curd, add 2 tbsps flour and 1/2 cup milk and mix well.

In a mixer, place the 3 leftover egg whites.  Beat till foamy and then add 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar

Beat  until soft peaks and then add 5 tbsps sugar and beat till stiff peaks.

Remove the stiff egg whites and add them to the lemon curd mixture and fold carefully to combine

Fill the ramekins to the brim and bake  in a water bath at 325 for 20-30 minutes or until set

Remove and serve warm as is, or dusted with confectioners sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream – whatever!
