Lemon Delicious is a wonderful way to end a meal, especially on a chilly day. People love this treat because it feels fancy and nostalgic at the same time, offering a bright lemon flavor that cuts through the sweetness perfectly.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to pull together using simple pantry staples. You do not need to worry about bringing your eggs or butter to room temperature, so you can start baking whenever the craving hits.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup full fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolks, flour, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

  3. 3

    In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer until you see stiff peaks form.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and place it into a larger pan filled with about one inch of hot water to create a water bath.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden and set but still has a slight wobble.

  7. 7

    Let the pudding rest for a few minutes before serving warm with plenty of the sauce scooped from the bottom.

💡 Tips

This pudding is best enjoyed warm fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge and gently reheat them in the microwave or oven to keep the sauce nice and silky.
