Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the pistachio nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse until they are finely chopped. Alternatively, you can chop them finely by hand.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pistachio nuts, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Stir until well integrated.
In a separate large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth blend.
6. Add Milk:
Pour in 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until everything is well combined and you have a consistent batter.
Lightly grease two ramekins or small pudding molds to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly between the two ramekins.
Place the filled ramekins onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the puddings are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow the puddings to cool in the ramekins for about 10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, dust the tops with 1 tsp of powdered sugar for added sweetness and a decorative touch.
Serve the lemon and pistachio puddings immediately for the best texture and flavor. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon zest: For the best flavor, use fresh lemon zest instead of pre-packaged zest. Fresh zest provides a more vibrant and aromatic citrus flavor.
- Toast the pistachio nuts: Lightly toast the pistachio nuts before using them in the recipe. This enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch to the puddings.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly: Ensure that the eggs are beaten well to incorporate air, which helps give the puddings a light and airy texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: When adding the flour to the mixture, mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can result in dense puddings.
- Serve warm or chilled: These puddings can be served warm right out of the oven or chilled for a different but equally delicious experience.
- Add garnish: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the puddings with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a few chopped pistachio nuts before serving.
Lemon and pistachio puddings are a simple yet sophisticated dessert option. With their refreshing citrus flavor and crunchy pistachio topping, these puddings are sure to be a hit. Plus, they are quick to prepare and bake, making them an ideal choice for a last-minute treat or a planned gathering. Enjoy the delightful combination of lemon and pistachio in every bite!
