Lemon & Lime Puddings are a delightful blend of sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for any dessert lover. This recipe combines the zest of lemons and limes with creamy, buttery ingredients to create a pudding that’s both refreshing and indulgent. These puddings are easy to prepare and make a great ending to any meal.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare 4-6 ramekins by lightly greasing them with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Incorporate the lemon zest and lime zest into the butter-sugar mixture. Blend well so that the zests are evenly distributed.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Set the egg whites aside in a clean bowl.
Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar-zest mixture and mix until smooth. Gradually add the flour and milk, mixing continuously until you achieve a smooth batter.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This is vital for creating a fluffy texture in your pudding.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon-lime batter. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites as you fold them in. The batter should be light and airy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help the puddings cook evenly and gently.
Transfer the baking dish with ramekins to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puddings are set and lightly golden on top. The puddings should have a light, spongy top with a creamy, custard-like layer underneath.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start; this will help it mix more smoothly with the sugar.
- Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the mixture to maintain their fluffiness, which will contribute to the light texture of the pudding.
- You can adjust the amount of lemon and lime zest according to your taste preference. If you prefer a stronger citrus flavor, feel free to add more zest.
- Serve the pudding chilled for a refreshing dessert, or warm it up slightly for a comforting treat.
- Garnish with extra lemon or lime zest on top for an added burst of color and flavor.
Your Lemon & Lime Puddings are now ready to be savored. This dessert promises a burst of citrus flavor with every bite, complemented by a silky texture that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re serving them at a dinner party or enjoying as a personal treat, these puddings are bound to be a hit.
