Macadamia Free Paleo Lemon Curd

Bright, tangy, and silky smooth, this lemon curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon straight from the jar. It gets its richness from coconut oil instead of butter, which keeps it completely grain- and dairy-free while still delivering that luscious, velvety texture you expect from a classic curd. Fresh lemon juice and zest do all the heavy lifting on flavor, balanced beautifully by honey for a natural sweetness that feels clean rather than cloying. The double-boiler method keeps the eggs from scrambling, and whisking constantly gives you a perfectly smooth result every time. Straining the finished curd through a fine-mesh sieve is the small extra step that takes it from homemade to genuinely impressive. Spread it on coconut flour pancakes, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a filling for paleo tarts — it's endlessly versatile. Store-bought versions are almost impossible to find without unwanted additives, so making your own means you know exactly what's in every golden, citrusy spoonful.
