Wow! This is unique; great dessert!
I’ve made this lemon curd twice now, and I absolutely love it. Other recipes call for sugar and thickeners, so I was thrilled to find this recipe. The dates are perfect! My Vitamix blends them in so well that I don’t even really need to strain the oat milk. Thank you for this recipe! I’ve been enjoying lemon curd on so many things: homemade biscuits, cornbread, straight out of the jar. I also shared it on my Facebook page since lemons are in season right now and many are looking for good lemon recipes. This really is one of those elusive healthy desserts! 🙂
