I love lemon curd or lemon butter as we call it here in Oz but it's quite fattening so I went searching for a lighter version and found this on a website called Bakingsheet. Recipe can easily be increased.

2/3 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice or lime juice
1-2 teaspoon lemon zest
5 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1
In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, dissolve sugar into lemon juice. Add zest.
2
Lightly beat egg in a small/medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly pour lemon/sugar syrup into the egg. Beat for 2 minutes (only 1 if you're using a mixer), then transfer back into the saucepan.
3
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until it just starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
4
Transfer to a small container and store in the fridge.

I've used apple juice instead of lemon (I don't like lemon) and Orgran NoEgg substitute for two eggs and it turned out very, very tasty. So easy to put together and ready in a few minutes. Thanks for shareing this recipe

This was SUPERB and so so easy. I left it to the day review was due because i thought it would be difficult. Took no time at all and now i have a wonderful lemon curd for my toast that doesn't have loads of fat. Also used half splenda and half sugar.
