Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and remove the pan from heat once fully melted.
Step 2
Whisk in the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined.
Step 3
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. While continuously whisking the butter-lemon mixture, slowly add the beaten eggs to the saucepan to prevent curdling.
Step 4
Return the saucepan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Step 7
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
