If you like surprising your friends with sweet treats, buy a pack of mini mason jars and fill them up with this curd. It can keep for up to 2 weeks as long as it’s refrigerated and your friends will love you. Everybody wins!
Recipe by Dan Clapson using a mystery ingredient – dragon fruit – from a Chopped Canada challenge.
ingredients
directions
Place the first 4 ingredients in a blender and purée on highest setting until very smooth, about 30 seconds.
Transfer to a heat safe bowl, along with sugar, vanilla and eggs.
Whisk contents of the bowl until well incorporated.
Place bowl over a double-boiler on stove and continue to whisk until mixture thickens, about 6-8 minutes. (Note: you can tell when the curd has thickened when it easily coats the back of a spoon.)
Remove from heat and whisk in melted butter.
Pour warm curd into containers of your choice and place in the refrigerator to chill. Use as desired.
