Luscious Lemon Desserts by Lori Longbotham

They say there are only two kinds of people in the world: chocolate people and lemon people. While I do love chocolate for sure, I am a lunatic for all things lemon.

Every single recipe in Luscious Lemon Desserts by Lori Longbotham sounds heavenly, and I can't wait to try all of them. Here's one I have tried, a taste of luscious lemony comfort food:

Lemon Pudding

3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 cups milk
3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
pinch of salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature

1. Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Add the milk and whisk until smooth. Add the egg yolks, zest, and salt and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently at first and constantly toward the end, until thickened.

2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and butter. Pour through a strainer into a large serving bowl or 4 individual serving dishes. Let cool to room temperature. Refridgerate, loosely covered, for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days, until set and thoroughly chilled. Serve chilled.
