Strawberry Cake curd

First of all, it is necessary to prepare berries for strawberry curd. Sort the strawberries from the leaves, then rinse the berries thoroughly under running water and dry them, throwing them into a colander.

Frozen strawberries can also be used to make this dessert. Then in this case it must be removed from the freezer and pre-thawed at room temperature.

Then put the strawberries in the bowl of a blender and grind to a puree-like state. After the resulting berry puree, grind through a fine sieve.

Put a piece of butter in a bowl, and put the bowl itself in a saucepan with a little water. Put a saucepan on the stove and arrange a so-called water bath on a small fire. Melt the butter in this way.

Separately, beat chicken eggs into a bowl, pour in the required amount of sugar. Using a mixer or a conventional whisk, beat the eggs with sugar to a white fluffy foam. Then pour in lemon juice, melted butter and add strawberry puree.

Lower the bowl with the resulting mixture into a saucepan with water so that the bottom of the bowl touches the water. Put the pan itself on low heat. Then cook the strawberry curd in a water bath. Cook until the cream thickens. At the same time, you need to constantly stir with a wooden spoon or a spatula so that lumps do not form.

As soon as the curd begins to thicken, remove the pan from the heat, remove the bowl and cool the contents. Next, cover the kurd with cling film so that the top does not dry out and send it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours for complete cooling.

After the specified time, strawberry curd can be used for its intended purpose - to impregnate a cake or pie with it, or to make a dessert based on it. You can store such a kurd in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Bon appetit!
