Lemon Curd Dip
Ingredients
3 large egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, thinly sliced and chilled
Whole strawberries, with hulls
Directions
In heavy, medium saucepan, whisk to combine egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice. Over medium-low heat, cook while whisking constantly until mixture looks silky and lightly coats a wooden spoon. When you run a finger down back of spoon, it should leave a clear line. This takes up to 10 minutes. If mixture starts to steam, reduce heat.
Off heat, add cold butter and whisk rapidly until combined. Scoop lemon curd into bowl or serving bowl and let stand until room temperature.
Cover lemon curd with plastic wrap, pressing against surface, and refrigerate curd for at least 12 and preferably 24 hours. It will thicken as it chills. Lemon Curd keeps for 4 days, tightly covered in refrigerator.
To serve, set bowl of chilled lemon curd on large plate and surround it with strawberries.
