Ingredients:

2 tbsp pistachio nuts
30g
2 eggs
100g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
1 tbsp milk (1% fat)
16g
1 tsp powdered sugar
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Pistachio Nuts:
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.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
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.
4. Beat Eggs:
In a separate large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
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.
7. Prepare Ramekins:
Lightly grease two ramekins or small pudding molds to prevent sticking. Divide the batter evenly between the two ramekins.
8. Bake:
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.
9. Cool:
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow the puddings to cool in the ramekins for about 10 minutes.
10. Serve:
Once slightly cooled, dust the tops with 1 tsp of powdered sugar for added sweetness and a decorative touch.
11. Enjoy:
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!
