5 Minute Lime Curd - easy power blender recipe! Fab Food 4 All (2024)

Sponsored by Harts of Stur

I was recently asked by Harts of Stur if I’d like to road test one of their products, the KitchenAid Artisan Power Plus Blender, so after biting their hand off, I decided to make 5 Minute Lime Curd in it!

My Granny’s Quick Lemon Curd (see link below) is the quickest curd recipe I’m aware of so with the 3.5 peak HP of the KitchenAid blender I set myself the challenge of making the quickest power blender curd.

With a total blending time of around 5 minutes I think may have achieved this!

Unlike standard blenders the KitchenAid Artisan Power Plus Blender spins so fast that the friction causes heat to build up which is perfect for making curd.

You would normally whisk curd ingredients over a medium heat in a saucepan or a baine-marie.

How do you make 5 Minute Lime Curd in the KitchenAid Power Plus Blender?

To make the Lime Curd you turn the dial on the KitchenAid blender gradually to full power (11) for 4 minutes to mix and heat up lime juice, eggs, lime zest and sugar.

Then you turn down the speed to 6 to reduce the froth and gradually add the cubed butter, blending for a further 30 seconds.

The resulting curd is potted up into hot sterilised jars and will thicken on cooling. So simple and with no danger of over-heating or spoiling your curd!

What did I like about the KitchenAid Artisan Power Plus Blender?

There are 3 pre-set functions for making juice, smoothies and soup plus a cleaning cycle. I tested out my which worked really well.

I also know this is the ideal blender for making my One Ingredient Crunchy Peanut Butter as I broke my last blender making this recipe!

My daughter loves Frapuccinos at Starbucks so she was soon throwing ice, cold milk, coffee and various flavourings in the KitchenAid Power Plus to make her own version. The ice crushing ability is such a game changer!

I love the fact that the BPA-free Tritan thermal control jug stays cool to the touch even when the contents are piping hot.

The cleaning setting is great for getting the jug free of most or all of the stuck-on food and is also dishwasher safe along with the lid and flex edge tamper (a stick for pushing food down).

I am so impressed with the design and build of the KitchenAid Artisan Power Plus Blender, the base is made of die-cast metal so there’s no danger of it moving around while in use.

However, if you need to pick it up there are 2 handy recesses at the base on either side to enable you to carry it more easily (it is heavy).
