Cooking Steps
- Heat a small pot over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp butter. Swirl the pot to melt, 1 min. Stir in graham cracker crumbs and 1/8 tsp salt.
- Cook, stirring often, until crumbs are toasted, 3-4 min.
- Remove from heat and transfer crumble to a small bowl.
- Carefully wipe the pot clean.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Reheat the same pot over medium. Add cream, lemon zest and half the sugar.
- Cook, whisking constantly, until cream comes to a gentle simmer, 2-3 min. (NOTE: Look for small bubbles forming along the sides of the pot.)
- Remove the pot from heat and set aside.
- While cream cools slightly, crack egg and separate yolk from white. Discard egg white.
- Add egg yolk, lemon juice, remaining sugar and cornstarch to a medium bowl.
- Whisk egg mixture constantly until sugar dissolves completely, 1 min.
- Slowly pour 2 tbsp slightly cooled cream into the medium bowl with egg mixture. Whisk to combine.
- Slowly add remaining cream, whisking constantly.
- Add cream-egg mixture to the small pot. Heat over medium-low.
- Using a rubber spatula, cook, stirring vigorously, until mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, 2-4 min. (NOTE: Curd will become very thick and can burn easily. As soon as the mixture thickens, remove the pot from heat.)
- Allow curd to cool, 3-4 min.
- Divide half the graham cracker crumble between bowls or cups.
- Top with half the lemon curd.
- Repeat with remaining graham cracker crumble and lemon curd.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Set aside in the fridge to chill before serving, 15- 20 min.
