Pineapple and Lemon Delicious Puddings Recipe

January 22, 2025 - by ultimaterecipe10

A few weeks ago, I started a new job that involves making a dessert every day, which I absolutely love. Last week, I made a lemon delicious pudding one day and a pineapple delicious pudding the next. Both were a big hit! These are classic, easy recipes that require mainly pantry ingredients, and they’re quick, simple, and best of all, delicious.

Pineapple Delicious Pudding

Start by sifting 1/4 cup of self-raising flour (or use plain flour with 1/2 tsp baking powder).
Add 1/2 cup of castor sugar and set aside.
Separate two large eggs and beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
In another bowl, stir the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of milk, zest and juice from a lemon or lime (lime pairs wonderfully with pineapple), and a 440g tin of crushed pineapple.
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until well combined.
Gently fold in the egg whites (it’s okay if some egg white remains unmixed).
Grease a 26cm tin and place it inside another tin. Pour the mixture in.
Add warm water (not boiling) around the tin, up to the rim.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (no fan) for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 160°C and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

Lemon Delicious Pudding

For the lemon version, you will need the juice and rind of three lemons, 3 tablespoons (43g) of soft butter, 1 1/2 cups of milk, and 3 large eggs (separated).
Cream the softened butter with 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar (white or castor).
Add the egg yolks and a bit of milk, mixing well.
Sift in 5 tablespoons of self-raising flour (or plain flour with 3/4 tsp of baking powder).
Mix until smooth, then add the remaining milk, lemon rind, and juice of three lemons.
Fold in the egg whites, leaving some unmixed egg white if necessary.
Grease another tin, pour in the mixture, and place it in a larger tin. Add warm (not boiling) water around the tin up to the lip.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (no fan) for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 150°C and bake for another 25 minutes.

Serving Suggestions: Once cool enough to chill, cover the puddings and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. When ready to serve, cut into portions, top with cream, a dusting of icing sugar, and garnish with fresh fruit if desired.

You can also substitute gluten-free flour in these recipes, and swap lemons for limes for a lime delicious pudding.

Enjoy these sweet, custardy treats, and thanks for watching!
