Easy Pineapple Curd (creamy, tangy, perfect results!)

pineapple juice (1 US cup)

mL lemon juice (2 tbsp)

175 g white sugar (1 cup + 2 tbsp, see recipe notes)

salt

cornstarch

egg yolks (from large eggs)

eggs

unsalted butter (4 tbsp, cubed)

Place the white sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a non-reactive mid-sized saucepan. Whisk to remove any lumps in the cornstarch.

Pour in the pineapple juice while stirring, to form a smooth mix. Again make sure there are no cornstarch lumps. Stir in the lemon juice as well.

Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, while stirring occasionally. Stir more frequently as the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

While the pineapple mix is heating, whisk the eggs and egg yolks in a heat resistant bowl or jug. Set aside.

Lower the heat and let the pineapple mix boil for about 3 minutes while whisking. Remove from the stove.

Add spoonfuls of the hot mixture into the whisked eggs, and whisk continuously to temper the eggs.

Once you&#039;ve added enough of the hot pineapple mix to warm and temper the egg mixture, pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan, along with the rest of the hot pineapple mix. Make sure to whisk it in as you add it.

Return the saucepan back to the stove, and cook the mixture over medium heat while whisking frequently.

The curd will start to thicken again, and then come to a boil. Make sure to whisk the curd to prevent curdling.

After the curd comes to a boil, let it cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes to thicken it. Lower the heat if your stove runs hot.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the butter. Whisk it in until the butter is completely mixed in and emulsified.

Pour the pineapple curd into a bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap. Make sure the wrap is touching the whole surfaces of the curd to prevent a skin from forming on top. To speed up the chilling time, you can spread the curd in a large, shallow pan instead.

Let the curd cool down to room temperature. OR to cool it down faster, transfer the pineapple curd into the fridge. I prefer to let it chill overnight in the fridge.

Once completely cooled down, whisk the pineapple curd to make it smooth. Place the curd in jars or air-tight containers. This can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

This pineapple curd is a delicious filling for any dessert! I&#x27;ve used it in cakes, cupcakes, and macarons, and it tastes amazing in all of them. It&#x27;s easy to make, full of bright, tropical flavor, and a perfect way to use up leftover egg yolks.

Once the water begins to simmer, place the heat-proof bowl on top of the saucepan to make a double boiler. Leave the heat on a medium heat and make sure the water isn't touching the bottom of the bowl. Hold the bowl in place with an oven mitt or small kitchen towel and continuously whisk the mixture until it starts to thicken. The mixture should become lighter in color as it thickens. This usually takes me about 5-8 minutes. Keep in mind that this pineapple curd will have a thinner consistency than lemon or lime curd usually has.
