Lemon Delicious

Lemon Delicious Pudding

Lemon delicious is a self-saucing pudding, one of those easy desserts that magically separates into a sponge top with a warm sauce underneath. This Aussie classic is tangy and a little goes a long way, especially when served with crème frâiche, so I think a small ramekin is just right as an after dinner treat. But you could bake your lemon delicious in 6 x 200ml ramekins, or even one large 1.2 litre dish and spoon it out at the table (you’ll just need to increase the cooking time a little). Serve it with ice cold limoncello – preferably Unico Cello from Applewood Distillery in the Adelaide Hills, made from lemons from 150 year old tress and considered too ugly for the retail market but perfect for distilling! I store mine in the freezer with the vodka. See video below for another easy Aussie sweet treat.

Serves 8

Ingredients
  • 50g salted butter
  • ¾ cup castor sugar
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • ⅓ cup self-raising flour
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 100ml strained lemon juice
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • Crème frâiche, for serving
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and lemon zest together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in egg yolks.
  4. Beat in flour and milk, alternately in batches, to form a smooth batter.
  5. Stir in lemon juice (don’t worry if it looks a little curdled).
  6. Whisk egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then gently fold them into the batter in three batches.
  7. Spoon into 8 greased 150ml ramekins and place in a baking dish.
  8. Pour boiling water into the baking dish to come half way up the sides of the ramekins.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or so, until tops are firm.
  10. Remove from oven and set aside to rest, in the water, for 10 minutes.
  11. Dust with icing sugar and serve with crème frâiche.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
