Lemon Pudding Recipe

Also known as Lemon Dainty or Lemon Surprise, this delicate Lemon Pudding recipe is light and fresh with a lovely lemon flavour, a perfect dessert after a big dinner. You can either cook this in one large dish or in six smaller ramekins for individual puddings. This recipe can also be made dairy-free by substituting the milk for your favourite alternative milk. As this recipe is so simple, it’s perfect for whisking up just before serving the main course and then taking out the oven just in time for dessert. We like serving this with fresh berries to complement the sweetness of the pudding and sharpness of the lemon, but it is also fantastic with cream.

This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil which is low in saturated fat and high in Omega 3, making this recipe ideal for a healthy and balanced diet. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
