- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped cocoa butter (see Note)
- Baguette toasts, for serving

- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with 3/4 cup of the sugar until combined.
- In a small saucepan, warm the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, cocoa butter and the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle half of the lemon juice mixture into the eggs.
- Add the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook the curd over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and a candy thermometer inserted in the curd registers 186, about 12 minutes.

- Puree until lightened, about 1 minute.
- Scrape into a bowl.
- Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the curd and let cool to room temperature.
