Lemon Curd over Biscotti Crumbs with Fresh Berries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 9 large egg yolks, room temperature
- 2/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons rosemary leaves (*See Cook's Note)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, in small pieces and at room temperature
- 3 cups mixed berries (2 pints, different kinds)
- 1 1/3 cups crumbled biscotti
- *Cook's Note about rosemary: time of year matters.
- If you use rosemary in the winter, use half as much because it's stronger - it grows slower and the taste is concentrated.
- In the top of a double boiler, whisk the sugar and the egg yolks until sugar has dissolved and mixture is pale yellow, then whisk in lemon juice and zest.
- Set the bowl over simmering water and whisk constantly until mixture reaches 145 degrees F; it will visibly thicken but don't let it get too hot or the eggs will curdle.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and add the rosemary and butter a little at a time, whisking until each addition is incorporated and the curd becomes thick.
- Transfer to a bowl, cool and then refrigerate until well chilled.
- Divide the berries among 6 decorative bowls or glasses.
- Top with a dollop of the lemon curd and sprinkle with biscotti crumbs.
