Preparing Delightful Lemon Meringue Pie Dessert
Ready to whip up a delectable Lemon Pudding recipe that'll leave you craving for more? This one-bowl wonder is as simple as it is delicious!
Gather your ingredients: 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 4 large egg yolks, 2 cups whole milk, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1/2 cup lemon juice (from 3 to 4 lemons), 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 cup heavy cream for the whipped topping.
Start by whisking together the cornstarch, 1 cup sugar, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan. Pour in the milk, lemon juice, and zest. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble, about 6 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until it melts, about 1 minute. Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl, stir in the lemon zest, and refrigerate it for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
While the pudding is chilling, create the whipped cream by beating the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until medium peaks form, around 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide the pudding between 4 serving glasses, top each one with a dollop of whipped cream, garnish with lemon slices, and place a vanilla meringue cookie on top. Get ready to indulge in this sunshine-inspired dessert!
Feel free to elevate this dessert by adding crumbled shortbread or sugar cookies on top for that sweet, crunchy texture. You can also try refreshing add-ins like chopped mint leaves or fresh berries for an added twist.
Finally, don't forget to accessorize your dessert with a playful garnish like decorative spoons or whimsical glasses. Bon appétit, and enjoy this lemon pudding masterpiece!
