Ingredients
- ½ cup Blood Orange Juice (freshly squeezed)
- zest of 1 (~½ tbs) Blood Orange
- 1 tbs Grated Raw Beet (peeled)
- 105g (¾ cup) Powdered Erythritol
- 40g (¼ cup, packed) Organic Corn Starch
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 1 13.5oz can Light Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Natural Butter Flavor (optional, but delicious)
Instructions
- In a double boiler placed over medium heat, whisk together the blood orange juice, zest, and grated beet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the erythritol, corn starch, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the blood orange mixture until completely smooth. Then whisk in the coconut milk. Whisk occasionally.
- When the water in the double boiler starts to boil, whisk the mixture constantly. It should seem like it’s not going anywhere for a while, then it will thicken quite suddenly. When this happens, turn off the heat but keep whisking the mixture over the double boiler for ~1 minute, or until it’s thick like a pudding. Remove the top portion from the double boiler and let cool on the counter for ~1 hour, whisking occasionally.
- Whisk in the butter flavor, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, give the curd a whisk to make sure it’s even, then spoon into serving jars. Serve and enjoy!
