Lovely to see this wonderful dessert here. It is called Lemon Delicious in Australia and is an old favourite from my childhood. BTW I have a wonderful Lisbon lemon tree in my very small garden. Strongly prefer Lisbons. Real lemons. 😊

So delicious, thank you for sharing! First dessert of the new year and we were over the moon to start it with very lemony deliciousness.

Hi David, this was crazy delicious and we had to restrain ourselves from eating the whole thing the first night, finished it last night. Mine came out much darker than yours did, almost burnt looking, at 35 minutes. I had it on the middle rack. Do I need to move to a lower rack or just check it earlier?

"Cerave" unscented moisturizer in large bottles at great prices at the Pharmacy at 26 Rue du Four (corner of rue de Four and rue Bonaparte) in the 6th just off of blvd Saint-Germain. Unfortunately, you'll have to leave the 11th but it is worth it. I shop there regularly.

She's getting up there in years, so she probably doesn't get out much these days.

Just curious--do you know my author friend Diane (Murray) Johnson? I have an impression that Americans in Paris get to know one another. She's a novelist and a great cook!

Hi, David. I'm at my aunt's in Sacramento. She has three lemon trees! We just moved her to assisted living, so I'm going to make her your pudding and take it tomorrow. Thanks! Constance

The way I now have an insatiable craving for this lemon pudding!! Saving for when I visit family in Arizona next month. I live in New York City and picking fresh lemons for this from their backyard tree will be a sure highlight of my trip.

When the memory of the butterscotch pudding I made last week (using Muscovado dark brown sugar) recedes, I will make this. I even have blackberries in the freezer. And raspberries . . . raspberry sauce or coulis could be gorgeous with it.

With a small household, I appreciate that the recipe makes four servings, since pudding does not age well.

David: To replace the white flour with tapioca granules or tapioca flour, would the amount be half of the amount of all-purpose flour in the recipe, as for cornstarch, as you say in your newsletter? Merci!

I have a Baerss lime tree full of limes. Can I substitute limes for the lemons in this recipe?
