Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a medium-high heat saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. ๐ |
| 2 | In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch, lemon juice, and a touch of lemon extract, blending until smooth and well mixed, ensuring there are no lumps. ๐ |
| 3 | Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the boiling sugar-water mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming and to ensure a smooth consistency. ๐ |
| 4 | In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Gradually add about 1/4 cup of the hot lemon mixture to the beaten yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs without scrambling them. ๐ |
| 5 | Quickly pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot lemon mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate it evenly. ๐ |
| 6 | Once the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and immediately transfer it into individual dessert cups or serving dishes. ๐ |
| 7 | Allow the pudding to cool slightly before covering and refrigerating it for at least a couple of hours to chill and set properly. ๐ |
| 8 | For a variation, if desired, you can also pour the lemon pudding mixture into a pre-baked pie shell and top it with a fluffy meringue before baking until golden brown for a delightful lemon meringue pie. ๐ |
Serving Suggestions:
- Garnish each serving with a twist of lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of freshness and indulgence.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing and satisfying dessert option on warm days or after a hearty meal.
