Ingredients

Easy Microwave Lemon Curd Filling

  • 1 egg

  • 2 egg yolks

  • 3/4 cup sugar

Microwave Meringue Topping

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 cup sugar

Directions

Prepare the Lemon Curd Filling

1.

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together all the ingredients.

2.

Heat in the microwave for one minute. Remove and whisk again.

3.

Continue microwaving for another two and a half minutes, removing every 30 seconds to whisk. Each microwave is different, but it will begin to thicken. Once it is thick enough to only slowly drip off the spoon, it is ready. It will also thicken more as it cools.

Notes:

This can be made on the stove by whisking well on low heat. Best if done over a double boiler so the bottom does not burn.

Makes enough to fill six to nine donuts or more, depending on how much is used.

Prepare the Meringue Topping

1.

The egg whites and sugar are heated in this recipe. You can use a double boiler or the microwave again. In a microwave-safe glass bowl, whisk egg whites, sugar, and lemon juice.

2.

Heat in intervals: Microwave on high for 20 seconds, then remove and whisk well.

3.

Repeat until the mixture is warm and the sugar is dissolved. You can tell by rubbing the mixture between your fingers. If you feel sugar crystals, then return and keep heating until it is dissolved.

4.

Whip: Transfer immediately to a mixer and beat on high until stiff, shiny peaks form.

5.

Use immediately by adding to a piping bag with a piping tip. Swirl on top of the donut and torch the edges till browned.
