Self saucing lemon pudding is so easy to make and will be sure to please your family! A kiwi classic.
The debate is whether you serve your lemon delicious dessert with ice cream or cream, or you could just go for both! In the photos I have made the pudding in separate ramekins but you could easily make this in one dish too.
If you're looking for another self saucing pudding, be sure to check out my recipe for Chocolate and Banana Self Saucing Pudding. Other comforting, moreish puddings include my Hot Cross Bun Bread and Butter Pudding and my delicious Sticky Date Pudding!
Common questions about Lemon Delicious:
What size dish should I use? You can either make this in individual ramekins or one large dish. I would suggest a standard 27 x 18cm oven proof dish.
Could I use limes instead of lemons? Absolutely! If you or someone you know has an abundance of limes, feel free to use those up instead of lemons!

Lemon Delicious
A light and fluffy lemon pudding with a sweet and tangy sauce.
Ingredients
- 75g (2.7oz) butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup caster sugar
- ½ cup self-raising flour
- 1 Tbsp icing sugar
- Cream or ice cream, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170°C fan bake.
- Grease an ovenproof dish or 4-6 ramekins (Depending on size).
- Place the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolks and milk in a bowl then whisk to combine. Sift in caster sugar and flour then stir again.
- In a clean bowl use a mixer or electric beater to beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold half of the egg white into the lemon mixture then gently fold in the rest.
- Spoon mixture into prepared dish or ramekins and place in a larger baking dish. Pour enough boiling water into baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the smaller dishes. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and just set. Dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or ice cream.
Notes
- This also works really well with lime juice and zest.

Hi there - can you make this in advance and freeze it? Will it still be lovely and gooey ?
VJ cooks says
I haven't tried that, but I don't think it would have the same texture sorry.
