Time 51m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
⅔ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups water
4 eggs
⅔ cup lemon juice
¼ cup butter

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in top of a double boiler over simmering water; stir well to prevent clumps. Gradually stir in 5 cups water. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened to gravy consistency, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large egg yolks
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3 1/2 cups milk
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk yolks, 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, salt, and 1/2 cup of the milk until completely smooth; gradually whisk in remaining 3 cups milk.
  • Place saucepan over medium heat; bring to a gentle simmer, whisking occasionally (mixture will thicken when it reaches a simmer). Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice.
  • Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Divide evenly among serving dishes; refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, about 1 1/2 hours. (To store overnight, cover dishes tightly with plastic once pudding has chilled.)
  • To serve, whip cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Spoon over puddings; garnish with extra lemon zest, if desired.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth velvety texture, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the pudding mixture before cooking.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Keep an eye on the pudding as it cooks, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
  • Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving, as it will thicken as it cools.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dollop of lemon curd.

Conclusion:

This classic lemon pudding is a delightful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, tangy lemon flavor, and versatile serving options, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're looking for a simple dessert to end a weeknight meal or a special treat for a dinner party, this lemon pudding is sure to impress.
