    These Creamy Mini Lemon Puddings are the ultimate dessert... perfect sponge-like top with a creamy lemon sauce on the bottom! There really is nothing better!

    Hello lemony-deliciousness!!!!! You guys are going to fall head over heels in love with these creamy mini lemon puddings. And hey, they're mini... which also means that they're completely guilt-free. Nothing mini could ever be bad for you, riiiiight!?

    But back to these fabulous little lemon puds. Oh boy, oh boy, they are GOOD. In fact, the word 'good' doesn't do these justice. Not at all. Fan-freaking-tastic would be a better description (and yes, that's totally a word.. at least it is in my world).

    icing sugar dusted over baked lemon pudding in small coloured ramekins on a benchI've always loved any kind of dessert or baking that involves lemon. There's just something about that sweet and bitter combination that leaves me drooling. Plus, I was one of those weird little kids that loved sucking on lemons. I promise I don't do that anymore... but I still love lemony treats!

    I love the sponge-cake-like top of these puddings. But most of all, I love the creamy sauce underneath. By baking these puddings in ramekins surrounded by boiling water, you get that perfect sauce happening. And that, my friends, is the key to these delicious mini lemon puddings.

    To serve these babies, simply remove them (carefully) from the water-filled baking dish, sift over a little icing sugar and pop on a small (ahem... HUGE!) scoop of ice-cream. Bliss, I tell you. Bliss.

    Instructions

    Conventional Method

    • Preheat oven to 160 degrees (fan-forced). Grease 4 large ramekins (or 6 smaller ramekins) and place into a large, deep baking dish.
    • Zest the lemon into a large bowl. Add the melted butter and lemon juice, milk and egg yolks. Whisk together until pale and frothy.
    • Sift over the self-raising flour and add the caster sugar. Whisk until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
    • Fold ¼ of the egg white mixture through the lemon mixture.
    • Repeat with the remaining egg whites (folding through ¼ at a time).
    • Gently divide the mixture between the prepared ramekins.
    • Pour boiling water into the base of the baking dish until it is halfway up the sides of the ramekins (but not allowing any water to get into the ramekins).
    • Bake for 30 minutes or until the pudding top has risen and set (it will be golden).
    • Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing the ramekins from the dish.
    • Sift over icing sugar and serve with vanilla ice-cream.

      Hi, can you make the batter in the afternoon, keep in fridge, then do ramekins to cook in evening?

      This recipe is amazing and has become a family favourite. The only change I make is to add 1/3 of the sugar and it’s amazing.

      Hi just wondering if you could bake these as a single pudding rather than individual and if so how much longer you would cook them. Thank you

        Hi Bron, it really depends on the size of your baking dish and your particular oven how much longer it would need. Check it after an extra 10 minutes, and then every 5 minutes or so after that. xx
