This simple pudding is made by curdling cream with citrus juice. The absence of eggs or starches makes for a surprisingly light, bright-tasting dessert that pairs perfectly with fresh or roasted fruit.
Bring to a simmer in a wide saucepan:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
Simmer gently for 5 minutes, watching the pan so the cream doesn’t boil over. Remove from the heat and stir in:
- 6 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
- (Finely grated zest of 1 lemon or lime)
Divide among six 4-ounce ramekins and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight. If desired, serve topped with:
- (Fresh Berry Coulis, Roasted Fruit, or citrus segments)
