Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) aquafaba
- 3 tbsp chickpea flour
- 1 tsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1/2 cup (100 g) organic granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 mL) lemon juice, about 4 large lemons
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp turmeric
- 6 tbsp salted vegan butter, room temperature
Instructions
- Prep: Whisk together the aquafaba, chickpea flour, and arrowroot starch together in a small bowl.
- Combine all ingredients for the lemon curd: To a medium saucepan, add in the aquafaba mixture, along with the remaining ingredients, except for the vegan butter. Whisk together to combine. Then add in the vegan butter.
- Make the lemon curd: Turn the heat to medium-high heat, and continued to cook the mixture until the vegan butter has completely melted. Allow the mixture to come to a low boil, while you continuously whisk. Then reduce the heat to medium heat or medium-low heat, and continue to whisk the mixture for 10-15 minutes. The lemon curd will begin to thicken towards the end of the timing, and seem more paste like than liquid.
- Cool the lemon curd: Pour the lemon curd mixture into a heat-safe bowl, and allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then place the bowl into the fridge to chill completely for 2-3 hours. It will thicken more as it cools.
- Serve and enjoy! It’s best to serve lemon curd cool. Spread onto toast, scones, muffins, or use as a filling in cakes!
Notes
Sugar substitutions: This recipe will not work with coconut sugar nor with a sugar free substitute. The texture and flavor will not be the same.
Vegan butter: I used Miyoko’s vegan butter.
