It Bakes Me Happy: Lime Curd

A few weeks ago while my hubby was out of town on business my sister came for a visit, we had a great time and she loved spending time with the kids. One of the tricky things about a visit is always what to cook, she’s vegan! Luckily I had a enough things on hand Sunday when she arrived that we could make dinner, but come Monday of course we ended up at the grocery store to pick up a few necessities. Walking around the aisles we chatted about lunch for the next Sunday when a lot of our family would be in town celebrating the birth of our son. I knew we would be serving a lot of non-vegan foods, so I wanted to make sure to include things she could eat as well. What meal is complete without a dessert, so I decided it must be vegan!

We love citrus in our family, cakes, pies, bars ect; so I thought making a sweet and sour treat was quite fitting. I opted for lime bars (I’ll share that recipe on Thursday) and since they were going to be dairy free, that meant making a curd; something I hadn’t done in a couple of years. I did some research and decided to make a variation of this recipe to fit my needs, but with limes instead of lemons.

It turned out to be quite an easy recipe and it tasted delicious – I’m talking eat with a spoon good! If you like a little tartness in your desserts or on your toast/biscuits then you have to make yourself a batch of this lime curd. I hope you’ll enjoy this curd as much as we do!

    I have had and made lemon curd on many occasions, but I have never tried lime curd. I will have to give it a try.

    Thanks for linking to the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party!

    I love fruit curds! I’ve never tried lime, but the gears are turning trying to find a way to use this. Of course, I could probably just eat it with a spoon!

    Thank you! I just made this (with half the sugar since I like my limes tart, soy milk instead of almonds and no oil) and it’s amazing. I had no idea you could make cirtus curd without eggs, so thanks for the education. πŸ™‚ My vegan brother will be very appreciative!

    Just made this and it is delicious! I had to cut the recipe in half due to lack of limes. Thanks!
