Author Notes
The main characteristic of the pudding is a soft, fluffy and spongy, cake-like texture contrasting the top, which is a golden crunchy crust. When you finish digging your spoon into it, you find a surprising lemon custard at the bottom, tangy, refreshing, tempting... A feast of textures in one mouthful with the most enticing citrus flavour. —bonheurcuisine
