This mouth-watering vegan lemon curd can be used as the filling for a variety of tarts, pies and cakes.
To start, be sure the Simple Cashew Cream is made.
To make the lemon curd, in a saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture comes to a boil.
At this point, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, stirring continually.
Remove from heat and stir in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Next, Stir in cashew cream, lemon zest, and salt.
Lastly, pour the mixture into a heat-proof bowl, place lid over the bowl and refrigerate until cool.
While this lemon curd can be used in a variety of desserts, it just happens to go particularly well with this Vanilla Cake and Buttercream Frosting, which also both happen to be egg and dairy free.
