Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 3 large eggs 3 egg yolks ⅓ cup white sugar 1 tablespoon white sugar ¼ cup fresh blood orange juice 2 tablespoons finely grated blood orange zest 1 tablespoon coconut juice 1 stick unsalted butter, softened and cubed 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 drop red food coloring, or as desired (Optional) Directions Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar together in a large metal mixing bowl. Whisk in blood orange juice, blood orange zest, and coconut juice. Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Place the metal mixing bowl with the curd on top of the simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until curd begins to thicken, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter until melted and well combined. Add vanilla extract and stir thoroughly. Add food coloring and stir to combine. Pour curd through a fine mesh sieve into individual ramekins or a single small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. Cook's Note: I normally use coconut juice from concentrate because it has a richer flavor.
