    My Lemon Pudding is the ideal recipe for the winter season! It has a tart flavor, a silky texture, and it is easy to prepare with no complex processes. Served warm or chilled, this pudding is pure lemon pleasure!

    I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! I had a very Merry Christmas and I am definitely looking forward to the NYE celebration. Can you believe we only have one more day left in 2017?!

    What are your plans for NYE? If you are having a vision party, house party, or a low-key celebrating at home, this Lemon Pudding is the perfect dessert for you!


    Lemon and Cream is a Wining Combo!

    The Lemon Pudding recipe brings out the zingy citrus flavor to its fullest potential. The combination of Lemon Wafer and cream makes a positively dreamy texture and a decadent flavor.
    Spoon into this lovely Lemon Pudding!

    I was so excited to know that Nilla wafers has a delicious lemon-flavored cookie! This had my creative juices flowing, and I simply couldn’t wait to create a recipe with the cookies! My recipe is full of lemony flavors and will look picturesque pretty in mini dessert cups! I am already thinking of what else I can add to this recipe to make it better! Hmmm…Maybe a whole new twist? I am so exited for this one!


    This Lemon Pudding dessert presents an elegant, easy, and a creamy consistency that is downright wonderful. It’s ideal for Easter dinner, Mother’s Day brunch, and everything in between.! Let me know your opinion and what you think I can add to make this recipe even more delicious!


    Why Am I in Love With This Lemon Pudding Recipe?

    This lemon pudding is incredibly simple to make, and no one will ever discover that it took you only few minutes to prepare it!

    The thick cream, which is reduced slightly and blended with sour lemon juice, makes it absolutely magical. The two are combined to create a luxurious creamy texture.

    And the best part is that there’s no need to bake the Lemon Pudding. Keep your oven off, and simply place it in the refrigerator to cool before serving.

    Rarely do I indulge in more than a few pieces of dessert — maintaining your weight  may be impossible when you work as a chef — but this Lemon Pudding is an exception! It is delicate, fluffy, and completely guilt-free.

    You can also use this recipe as a lemon pie filling because it does not require any further baking.


    Lemon Pudding’s History

    The recipe is inspired by a medieval drink known as a Posset, which was famous from the Medieval Era till the early nineteenth century. The drink was basically thickened hot milk, or cream with acidic wine or cider. According to British Food History, it was thought to be therapeutic for healing a common cold.


    How to Serve Your Lemon Pudding

    In this recipe, the pudding is spooned into individual serving bowls. If you’re serving a smaller group, go through your cupboard for nice stemmed glasses to make it look fancier! One larger serving bowl will suffice if you’re bringing it to a party. Each visitor can scoop out their own portion, then top it with whipped cream, fruit, or eat it plain.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is it okay if I use a low-fat cream, milk, or yogurt?

    I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. Low-fat cream or milk doesn’t have enough fat to react with the acid to make the curd that thickens this dessert.

    Can I reduce the sugar?

    The sugar in this treat serves a dual purpose. It guarantees a smooth curd and a nice silky texture in the dessert. It’s also meant to counteract the sourness of the lemon. My recommendation is to test it once as written. If you find it overly sweet, reduce the sugar by a tablespoon or so the next time you make it until you hit your own sweet spot.

    Is it possible to use another citrus fruit?

    Definitely! Using the same method, and in the same proportions, using orange or grapefruit would suffice.

    How long should this recipe set before serving?

    If you ask me, the Nilla wafers get better the longer they sit. I usually prepare this recipe a nigh ahead.


    Creamy, Dreamy, Zesty, and Appetizing!

    This quick no-bake lemon pudding is a creamy dream that tastes like sunshine and joy with every bite thanks to cream cheese, loads of zesty lemon, whipped topping, and citrus lemon Nilla wafers.
