A refreshing dessert combining the tangy flavor of lemon curd with the sweetness of fresh strawberries.
Combine the lemon juice, butter, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the warm lemon mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly.
This step prevents the yolks from curdling when added to the hot mixture.
Return the tempered yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
The curd is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
In a blender, puree the strawberries, powdered sugar, and water until smooth.
Strain the sauce for a smoother texture if desired.
On each serving plate, spread a spoonful of strawberry sauce, top with fresh strawberry slices, and drizzle with lemon curd.
Arrange the strawberries artistically for an appealing presentation.
