Instructions

  1. In a medium non-reactive saucepan, combine zest and sugar. Use your fingers to massage the together until fragrant and moist. Add remaining ingredients and use a silicone whisk to combine. Let the lemon mixture rest about 5 minutes to infuse the liquid with the lemon.
  2. Heat the pudding mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook until it begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Place a fine mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl and pour the pudding to strain any solids.
  4. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly touching the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming on top. Chill completely before serving, about 2-3 hours.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover lemon pudding in the refrigerator. You'll want to make sure it's in airtight jars, or use plastic wrap covering them tightly so it doesn't develop a film. It will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • *The recipe video is for the vegan lemon pudding recipe below and can still be helpful to make other pudding recipes. 
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch5.6 ounces coconut cream½ cup coconut milkZest of one lemon2 tablespoons maple syrup plus more to tastePinch turmeric optional for coloringCoconut whipped cream
  • Instructions
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • * Please note the nutrition label does not include any toppings.
  • Add the lemon juice and cornstarch to a small saucepan and whisk to combine and remove any clumps. Add the canned coconut cream, coconut milk, lemon zest and maple syrup and whisk again until well combined.
  • Turn the heat on medium, add turmeric and bring mixture to a low bubble (not a boil), continuing to whisk, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, let rest for 15 minutes, then whisk once more and transfer to a glass bowl or jar and cover. Refrigerate for a few hours to chill and set. Serve with whipped coconut cream and fresh mint, if desired.
  • Instead of coconut milk, you can use any other plant-based milk or regular milk.
  • I tested this recipe with cornstarch and arrowroot starch. Feel free to try it with other thickening flours and let me know how the result is!
  • You can replace maple syrup with any other natural sweetener of your choice.
