Method

  1. In a small shallow bowl, place 3 tablespoons of cold water and evenly sprinkle 2 teaspoons of unflavored powdered gelatin over it. Allow the gelatin to soften for 5-10 minutes without stirring.

  2. In a small saucepan, vigorously whisk together 4 large egg yolks and ¾ cup (150g) of granulated sugar. Make sure to incorporate all the sugar and whisk until the mixture becomes pale and thick, which should take around 2 minutes. Scrap the sides of the pan often.

  3. While whisking constantly and scraping the sides of the pan, slowly stream in ½ cup of fresh orange juice and ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth.

  4. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom and ½ teaspoon of Diamond Crystal salt or ¼ teaspoon of Morton kosher salt to the mixture. Whisk briefly to combine.

  5. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until the foaming subsides and the curd barely holds marks from the whisk. The curd should be thick enough to coat a spoon, which should take about 5 minutes. If you want to be precise, the mixture should reach a temperature of 170°F according to an instant-read thermometer.

  6. Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and add the softened gelatin. Whisk vigorously to dissolve and incorporate the gelatin into the curd
