What’s good about it?

Lemons are high in heart-healthy vitamin C and several beneficial plant compounds that have been shown to lower cholesterol.  Using xylitol helps keep the sugar content low – you could also use stevia and erythritol too.

 

Did You Know?

Store this in the fridge – it can also be frozen if wished. Instead of lemon you could make orange curd or a mixed citrus curd.

zest and juice of 4 unwaxed lemons

2 tbsp cornflour

50g xylitol

3 tbsp coconut cream

3 tbsp dairy free spread

Pinch of sea salt

  1. Mix a little of the lemon juice with the cornflour to make a smooth paste and set aside.
