A smooth and tangy lemon pudding with a rich, creamy texture and bright citrus flavor. Perfectly chilled for a refreshing and elegant dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons (zested)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 egg yolks
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium non-reactive saucepan, combine the lemon zest and sugar. Use your fingers to massage them together until fragrant and moist.
  2. Add the cornstarch, milk, heavy cream, lemon juice, egg yolks, and salt. Whisk until fully combined, then let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Pour the pudding through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl to remove any solids.
  5. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2–3 hours before serving.

Notes

  • For extra brightness, add a bit more lemon zest before chilling.
  • Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure constant whisking during cooking to prevent lumps.
