Equipment

  • Sauce Pan

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Calamansi Juice
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients. Start with a clean cold pot. Do not turn on the heat yet. Add in the calamansi juice, egg yolks, sugar and salt. 
    Mix it well.
  • Thicken with heat. Then put the pot on the stove and turn on the heat up to medium low.
    Stir constantly until you see it get visibly thick. About 7-10 minutes. Once the calamansi curd has thickened turn off the heat and add in the butter.
    Whisk in the butter until it has been fully incorporated.
  • Cool it down. Transfer the curd into a clean cool bowl and place plastic wrap on top of the curd so that it does not form a skin while cooling down.
