Lemon Curd with Berries

wineandfelines:

I found this yummy recipe in my favorite magazine, Cooking Light and decided I’d give it a shot as a healthy dessert!

Lemon Curd with Berries

What You’ll Need: 

2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (juice from two lemons)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (juice from one orange)
1/8 tsp salt
6 egg yolks
3 tbsp butter (cold, cut into pieces)
2 tsp lemon rind (rind from about 1/2 lemon)
berries
graham cracker crumbs

1. Combine the sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, salt and egg yolks in a sauce pan and whisk. Set the burner to medium and cook until it thickens, approximately 6 minutes.  

2. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon rind. Stir until butter is melted and well mixed. 

3. Pour into a medium bowl (cover with plastic wrap!) and refrigerate for at least two hours. 

4. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons into a cup and top with berries of your choice and graham cracker crumbs. At first I thought 2-3 tablespoons sounded like it wasn’t enough for a dessert, but this is just a sweet, decadent dessert that you don’t need much of. 

Yum!

In case you were curious: Cooking Light lists this as 174 calories with 8g of fat. Not great, but DAMN these are good.

When I finished making this I felt like it was kind of a waste to throw away six egg whites. My first thought was to make champagne or wine cupcakes, because that recipe calls for six egg whites. However, since I wanted to try something new, I decided to make meringue cookies! Super cute and yummy. 

militaryfit-bombshell: Protein Powder Banana Bread Just like the zucchini bread Ingredients 3 egg whites or 6 tablespoons of egg beaters 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking power 1/3 cup oatmeal Sprinkle of cinnamon 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 ripe banana, mashed Optional - 2-3 packets of truvia or stevia sweetener Optional - chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray your individual baking tin with nonstick spray. Mix all your ingredients together and poor into sprayed pan. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean when inserted. This was so delicious. I am happy I tried it for breakfast. I used less oatmeal then the zucchini because I’m really not supposed to be eating oatmeal on a paleo diet. But it’s healthy! & delicious. I want to eat like ten more! About 365 calories a loaf (the individual 5 x 3 x 2 pans)
