Ingredients
Scale
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 Egg, room temperature
1 Egg Yolk, room temperature
75g Caster Sugar
100–130g Raspberries (frozen or fresh)
50g Unsalted Butter
Instructions
In a bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, and sugar. Set aside.
For frozen raspberries: Add them to a saucepan with the lemon juice. Cook on low heat, mashing the berries to release juice. Cool before proceeding.
For fresh raspberries: Pulse in a blender or muddle in a bowl to release juices. Add lemon juice and transfer to a saucepan.
Add the egg-sugar mixture to the raspberries and stir to combine.
Place the saucepan on low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Test readiness by scraping the pan—curd should hold its shape for a few seconds before reflowing.
Remove from heat, whisk in butter until fully incorporated.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a smooth texture.
Cover with clingfilm, pressing it against the surface. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
