Mouth-puckering lime curd is deliciously balanced with butter cookies and cream. Swap lemons for the limes. Or try bitter oranges such as Seville or Bergamot.
Ingredients
Salted butter
1 tbsp(s), softened
Powdered sugar (confectioner's)
¾ cup(s)
Lime zest
1½ tsp(s), finely minced
Raw egg
2 large
Fresh lime juice
⅓ tbsp(s)
Store-bought shortbread cookies
36 item(s), commercially prepared (about 10 oz total)
Lite whipped topping
¾ cup(s)
Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light; add zest. Next, add one egg at a time, beating after each addition; add lime juice (mixture will be lumpy).
2
Pour mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lime mixture thickens like a pudding, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3
Spread a heaping teaspoon of lime curd onto each cookie. Before serving, top each with a teaspoon of whipped topping. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
