Ingredients

Lemon curd:

1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp Sukrin Gold
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
6 tbsp butter in small cubes

Cupcakes:

7 tbsp almond flour
3 tbsp coconut flour

2 tsp baking powder
Just short of 1/2 cup sukrin+
3 tbsp softened butter
2 eggs (room temperature)
Slightly less than 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla powder (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)
1-2 tbsp lemon zest

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Make the lemon curd first. Whisk together lemon juice, Sukrin Gold, eggs, and egg yolks in a pot. Add the butter and gradually turn up the heat to a low setting. Stir constantly. *Remember that eggs turn to scrambled eggs if the heat is too high.* When the butter melts, turn the heat up to medium. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and gets a creamy consistency. If you see any lumps, strain the mixture. Put the finished curd in the fridge.

While the curd is cooling, begin making the cupcakes. Whisk the butter until it is light and fluffy, then add the Sukrin+ little by little. Crack one egg at a time while constantly mixing and then add the yogurt, vanilla powder and lemon zest. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture little by little. DO NOT “overmix”. Put the mixture in cupcake tins and bake them in the center of the oven at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

As the cupcakes cool, whip some heavy cream to decorate the top of the cupcakes.

Create a small hole in the middle of each cupcake with a spoon and fill every cupcake with the desired amount of cold lemon curd. Put the whipped cream on top of the cupcakes and you’re done!
