Eat Skinny: Light Lemon Pudding with Blueberries & Raspberries Recipe

Pin It PIN IT!

Friends, this little pudding made with lemon, raspberries, blueberries (and love) is probably my new favorite thing to eat, ever.

It’s SO light, fluffy and airy, which makes it absolutely perfect for those insanely hot summer days when you want something sweet but can’t muster the strength to eat (or bake) cake. Plus, the tartness of the lemon pairs with sweetness of the raspberries and blueberries amazingly.

Not to mention, they are pretty little things, don’t you think? I wanted to add both raspberries and blueberries to make it more patriotic since, you know, the 4th of July is next week! (I know, I know, I can’t believe either). How cute would these be at your BBQ? Or dinner party? Each person gets their own little ramekin!

Or, if you’re feeling REALLY creative, you can actually make a flat pattern on top of your cakes. Somehow. I wouldn’t know how to do that since I’m not that creative. Or, I’m just lazy. How’s that?

Trust me guys, these cakes are the perfect summertime dessert. I mean, each ramekin has JUST 114 calories and 6 grams of fat! Plus, these pudding cups pair amazingly with a crisp white wine, like a dessert white or even a Pinot Grigio? I’m going to do a taste test with a few different wines. Any VA bloggers want to get drunk — erm — do research at 11am with me? I’ll pay you in cake! and wine!

Light Lemon Pudding with Raspberries and Blueberries

CLICK HERE FOR THE PRINTABLE VERSION OF THIS RECIPE

Serves 6.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Chill time: 30 minutes

Ingredients: 

  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons AP flour
  • 3/4 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup light cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup raspberries (divided)
  • 1  cup blueberries (divided)
  • Powdered sugar

Directions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place ramekins (or mini crocettes) in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  2. Pour egg yolks into a medium bowl. (Set whites aside) Add sugar and mix until mixture is creamed and thick. Add in butter, flour, skim milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and cream. Mix until fully combined. (Don’t worry, mixture will be soupy looking).
  3. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with a whisk (or electric mixer) until a firm peak forms when you lift up (about 5 – 7 minutes). Gently stir in about 1/3 the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites, raspberries and blueberries until mixed. Pour mixture into each ramekin. Add about 1 inch’s worth of hot water into the pan along the side of the ramekins. DO NOT LET WATER GET INTO THE RAMEKINS. Or, your pudding will be ruined. Trust me, I learned this from Bobby Flay.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes or until pudding cake is set and lightly browned. Remove from water and let chill about 30 minutes. Then, garnish with remaining berries and powdered sugar and enjoy!

    Looks wonderful ... and I like the idea of a berry-decorated layer of this stuff over top a single layer flourless yellow cake .... pure summertime with a glass of iced tea!

    The endless diversity of materials linked to making handcrafted jewelry demonstrates this unique jewelry is a class of their own.

    Just be sure that the clothes you might be wearing are appropriate and you might be comfortable in wearing
    it. It's extremely important to note until this jewelry is only cheaply priced, have a look
    around and you'll see many name brands in earrings,
    necklaces, rings, accessories -- including products in the Disney and e.

    whether you host parties frequently, and the usage ' whether you would use just
    for heating food or baking or grilling. I discovered this on Father's Day 2005,
    when my 6- and 3-year-old daughters decided to make a Greeting Cake for
    my husband. In our test kitchen, we have experimented extensively with cheesecakes.

    Certainly, this does not signify that you should go out and buy the cheapest cookware collection that you
    can get. The storage of the pans is far easier when you may have
    this potential at your disposal.

    The dynamics of the front and rear rails
    can be effectively pictured using this example: suppose you
    had two bottles - a two-gallon jug and a 16 oz. Final Ideas - On the draw back, if you have a
    choice for complete grain bread, then this device doesn't bake
    it appropriately as it doesn't have a sandwich mode, so you will require to appear elsewhere.

    obviously like your web site but you need to check the spelling on several of your
    posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome
    to tell the truth oon the other hand I'll certainly come back again.

    Everyone agrees that more tests should be done and that
    the dangers of this chemical in combination with others has
    still never been widely studied. And despite the fact that it's an important meeting that I wouldn't
    miss in a thousand years, we always use plastic silverware and
    paper plates, items that could hardly be described as
    formal dinnerware. For every review of yours we approve and publish on the website, we will add 20 points to your VGP account.

    These may either be caused by the process of baking or the
    quality of breadmaker itself. Local honey is readily available at the local Natural Foods Market
    and the health benefits to be gained from eating local honey
    are numerous. It chops nearly something from fruit to
    veggie to even nuts.
