Luscious Lemon Pudding

"This is the recipe by Glo McNeill, 82, of Lunenburg, N.S. that won the grand prize on the Canadian Show 'Recipe to Riches', by Food Network Canada. She said the recipe was inspired by her childhood in post-war England and the happy memories that thoughts of her mom’s lemon curd still evoke. The Grand Prize took the cash prize 'cake' in Canadian game show history, winning not only $250,000, but also it will become a President's Choice product! What's really decadent about this recipe is that the top two-thirds will be cake consistency and bottom third will be pudding consistency."

  1. This turned out exactly how it stated it would. A nice airy cake-like consistency on top and creamy lemon pudding on the bottom. It has a nice sweet/tart balance.
     
  2. After seeing the program I couldn't wait to try the pudding, and as soon as it was available in the store I took some home. The commercial version was just ok, and frankly I was surprised it was a winning dessert. When I found the recipe on the net I had to give it another try, and I am glad I did.<br/><br/>Homemade is amazing. Super easy to make and well worth the few minutes it takes to put it together. Perfect balance between sweet and sour.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
