Simple Light Lemon Custard

Great as a dessert topping. Ready in less than 10 minutes. Sinfully rich yet low-calorie compared to most lemon custard/curd.

• Ready In: 11 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 1 cup

Ingredients

• 2  eggs, beaten
• 1  tablespoon lemon rind, grated
• 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar

• 1  tablespoon light margarine

Directions

1. Combine eggs, lemon rind and sugar in a saucepan on medium heat.
2. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent clumping, until mixture becomes well combined and light yellow.
3. Add in light margarine and lemon juice, keep whisking and cooking for about 5 minutes.
4. Set aside, let cool before serving.
5. Mixture will thicken even more when cold.
