Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and water. Stir well to mix the flavors together.

Step 2

Add the stevia sweetener and cornstarch to the saucepan. Use a whisk to blend everything until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. This will avoid any lumps in your sauce.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue to stir consistently until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately add the butter and salt, stirring until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Let the lemon sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken a bit more as it cools but should still be creamy and pourable.

Step 6

Serve warm over your favorite desserts or breakfast dishes. You can also store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat gently over low heat if needed.
