The Devil's Food (Raspberry Curd)

There are few things I love more than a deliciously fresh and fruity fruit curd. I know the name is deceiving, but I promise you that a fruit curd goes on everything: toast, ice cream, cupcakes, pancakes it is the devils food and it is worth every delicious bite. 

Raspberry Curd






















Ingredients:
5 Egg Yolks
2 Tbsp Corn Starch
3/4 Cup Sugar
12 oz Frozen Raspberries Thawed
2-3 Tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Butter Cubed

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 2 Hours
Servings:1 1/2 - 3 Cups

Directions:
In a small saucepan combine the egg yolks, sugar, raspberries, and lemon juice. Whisk vigorously, and continuously over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add one tablespoon of corn starch and continue to whisk, add second tablespoon and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Take it off the heat immediately and fold in the butter 3-4 cubes at a time. Make sure that all of the butter is incorporated before adding more. Place a sieve over a heat safe bowl and run the curd through the sieve until it is smooth and shiny. Cover the curd with plastic wrap making sure that the plastic wrap is touching the curd. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until cold - at least 2 hours. Serve or store in an air tight mason jar.
