Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- 500 milliliters whole milk
- 120 milliliters freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional for garnish whipped cream
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Gradually add the milk while whisking to ensure no lumps form.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until it begins to thicken. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened and is bubbling gently, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring continually.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the butter has completely melted.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream if desired.
