Our easy lemon delicious pudding is such a classic favourite… a thick and creamy lemon sauce topped with a light lemon sponge layer… the perfect winter dessert!
Lemon delicious pudding
When it comes to comfort food and winter desserts, it doesn’t get any better than my easy Lemon Delicious Pudding! A soft fluffy lemon sponge with a creamy and tangy lemon sauce underneath…. YUM!
The trick to getting a beautiful sauce is to not overcook the pudding. The sponge should be light and fluffy on top (but when you touch it, it should wobble due to the sauce sitting underneath).
Lemon pudding, lemon self-saucing pudding & lemon delicious – three names… one yummy dessert!
Whether you call this yummy dessert lemon delicious pudding, lemon pudding or lemon self-saucing pudding, it really doesn’t matter! They’re all exactly the same simple, family-friendly dessert. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe!
I love to make this pudding as one whole family-sized pudding, however, if you prefer you can divide the mixture between 6-8 small ramekins and cook them as individual desserts (you’ll just need to decrease the cooking time if you do this).
Whether you decide to make this as 1 large pudding or several mini ones, just know that you’re about to be sitting down to the most perfect winter dessert ever! Simply serve with icing sugar, cream or ice-cream for an even more delicious dessert.
