The citrusy, fresh flavor of lemon adds a brightness to a whole range of dishes. Lemon is a tasty addition to everything sweet from cakes, cookies, pies, and puddings to french toast. Lemon flavor also works in savory dishes like green beans, broccoli, and asparagus to vegetable frittatas, pork dishes, chicken entrees, and pasta dishes. Lemon juice and zest is a classic addition to salad dressings, mayonnaise, and breadcrumbs to brighten their flavors. This lemon pudding is a delicious treat. It brings out the sweet side of lemon. The lemon zest amps up the citrusy flavor to a more extreme level than just juice would do. The pudding is an easy and quick homemade dessert that's especially good as a springtime meal finale. Serve this pudding for a mother's day, father's day, or easter brunch. This recipe calls for the pudding to get spooned into individual serving bowls. If you have a smaller crowd, do this so each person can top their pudding with their own desired toppings. If you are bringing it to a party, one larger serving bowl works fine. Each guest can scoop out their serving and then top it as desired with whipped cream, berries, or eat as is.
