I came up with this recipe while staying with my family in Orange County, California.  In the yard was a Meyer lemon tree overflowing with fruit.  When life gives you lemons...Make Lemon Curd!

I originally made classic Cannabis Lemon Curd, but then thought, why not make a low carb version too?

Meyer lemons have a unique flavor that sets them apart.  If you can find this unique type of lemon, they makes THE BEST cannabis lemon curd.  However, if you can only get regular lemons, don't let that stop you from making this fabulous recipe.  It will still be delicious.

A Note on the Color of Cannabis Keto Lemon Curd

I tested a lot of recipes and variations to come up with this keto lemon curd and my original Cannabis Lemon Curd recipe.  One thing I noticed on the color is, it was dependent on the eggs used, not on the lemons.

When I used free range organic eggs with dark colored yolks, I ended up with a vibrant bright yellow marijuana lemon curd. The batches I tested using regular super market eggs tasted just as good, but their color was far paler.  

Use Cannabutter to Infuse Keto Lemon Curd

Cannabutter makes the best way to infuse this recipe.  

As it takes 6 tablespoons of butter for each batch of Cannabis Keto Lemon Curd you are probably going to want to use some cannabutter mixed in with uninfused butter to make a total of 6 tablespoons.  I do this in the recipe below.  How much of each will depend on the usual dosing factors (see below).

The Best Sweetener for Cannabis Keto Lemon Curd

I tested a bunch of different no carb sweeteners for this recipe.  In the end my favorite was Lankanto Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener.  You could use other brands of low carb sweeteners too, but I did find that the powdered versions worked best.

The recipes I tested with granulated sweeteners always were a little grainy as the sweetener never fully dissolved.  It wasn't bad right after making the lemon curd as the grains were fine and it didn't really bother me.  

However, with storage the grainy problem got worse.  While the keto lemon curd tasted good, it had the texture of a mouthful of sand!

I then tried Now's Organic liquid monkfruit, which is my second favorite choice.  

The texture of the keto lemon curd stayed smooth when using liquid sweetener.  My only issue with it was that by the time I used enough to sweeten the lemon curd, it had that familiar bitter aftertaste that most low carb and keto cooks are trying to avoid.  

Freezer Friendly Cannabis Lemon Curd

Marijuana Keto Lemon Curd will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.  If you can keep yourself from eating it all for that long.

You can also freeze cannabis keto lemon curd for 6 months or more.  Bring to room temperature and enjoy when ready use.

You can freeze in plastic freezer containers, or small glass canning jars.  Leave an inch or so of space at the top.

A Note on the Dosage for the Cannabis Keto Lemon Curd Recipe

This recipe will have about 20 mg THC per 1/4 cup serving  IF you made your marijuana butter from average cannabis (10% THC) and used 1/2 ounce of marijuana to make 1 cup cannabis infused butter.
