Lemon, lime and coconut steamed puddings with citrus syrup

Elevate your dessert game with these delightful Lemon, Lime, and Coconut Steamed Puddings, perfectly complemented by a tangy citrus syrup. Combining the zesty flavors of lemon and lime with the tropical hint of coconut, this steamed pudding is a refreshing and indulgent treat that promises to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g

Instructions:

2. Add the Zests: Mix in the lemon zest and lime zest until evenly distributed.
3. Incorporate the Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold in the self-raising flour and dried coconut meat until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
5. Prepare the Molds: Grease six individual pudding molds or ramekins with butter. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared molds, filling each about two-thirds full.
2. Steam: Place the pudding molds in the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and steam for about 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of one of the puddings comes out clean. Be sure to check the water level periodically and add more boiling water if needed.
2. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup has slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Drizzle with Syrup: Generously drizzle each pudding with the warm citrus syrup.
3. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with additional lemon and lime zest or a sprinkle of shredded coconut. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful puddings warm!

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning to mix, as this helps achieve a smoother batter and even cooking.

- Use freshly grated lemon and lime zest for the best burst of citrus flavor.

- Measure the flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife to avoid over-packing, which can make the pudding dense.

- To prevent the puddings from sticking to the molds, generously butter each mold and dust with a light coating of sugar or flour before filling.

- When steaming, make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the pudding molds to ensure even cooking and prevent the batter from becoming too wet.

- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup (150g) of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

- Allow the puddings to cool for a few minutes before turning them out of the molds to maintain their shape.

These Lemon, Lime, and Coconut Steamed Puddings are a delightful end to any meal, offering a perfect balance of zesty citrus and rich coconut flavors. Serve them warm with a drizzle of citrus syrup for a dessert that's bound to be a hit with everyone at the table. Enjoy the satisfying combination of moist, tender pudding and vibrant, tangy syrup as you savor each bite.
