Instructions

  1. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Whisk in lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg yolks until combined. Whisk in the water, then cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened and starting to bubble.
  3. Remove the lemon pudding from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and combined.
  4. Pour the lemon pudding through a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, pressing it through with a rubber spatula to separate out any bits of lemon zest. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and cool before enjoying with whipped cream. We like to eat it warm best. Or chill the pudding in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
