### 👩‍🍳 **How to Make Vegan Lemon Curd**

#### Step 1: Combine Ingredients

* In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, zest, coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
* Add a pinch of turmeric if you want that classic yellow color (it won’t affect flavor).

#### Step 2: Cook the Curd

* Place the saucepan over medium heat.
* Stir continuously as the mixture heats up and thickens — about 7–10 minutes.
* Once thickened to a custard-like consistency, remove from heat.

#### Step 3: Add Flavor

* Stir in vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.

#### Step 4: Cool and Store

* Let the lemon curd cool slightly, then transfer to a clean jar.
* Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let it set fully.
* Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week.
