Nutrition is based on 12 generous servings of 2 tablespoon each. This means you can enjoy 2 slices of bread with sugar free lemon curd for breakfast!
You can add the zest of 1 lemon to the recipe for additional zing. Simply grate it into the mixture when you add the lemon juice.
Allulose has 70% the sweetness of sugar, that's why you need to use more (pure) allulose than other sweeteners which have the same sweetness as sugar. I have given the recommended amounts for sweeteners in the ingredients.
