Lemon curd is a citrusy spread with 1 ½ cups of almond flour, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 3 tablespoons of butter. It’s similar to non-keto lemon curd pie filling but only contains about 1 carb per serving. This easy lemon curd recipe has just five ingredients and takes about 45 minutes to prepare.

You can eat this zesty keto lemon curd cake or pie for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a great low-carb alternative to pound cake and the tangy sweet lemon curd filling adds a fruity boost to your meal. With this recipe, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—a buttery crust and flavorful lemon curd.

You can add in 1 ½ tablespoons of vanilla extract and one medium egg for a more mellow flavor. Or you can intensify the zing of the sweet lemon curd by adding 1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar and allulose, some lemon zest and lemon juice. Try garnishing your keto lemon curd with fresh mint, raspberries, or strawberry slices.

The crunchy almond crust adds texture to this easy keto curd dessert. The sweet lemon filling is slightly tart and very fragrant. This dessert can be prepared ahead of time and then heated up before serving to bring out its full flavors.
