This is the perfect lemon flavored dessert, but
is it lemon pudding? or like lemon pudding? or the ‘new’ version of lemon pudding?
I don’t know how long it’s been around, but I just recently heard of it. So I compared recipes and the difference between lemon pudding and lemon curd is about 2 1/2 cups of milk.
Lemon Curd is more like a custard for tarts and fillings. Lemon pudding is, well……pudding
Lemon Curd is tangy, tart, and has a sweet citrus flavor.
So, if you want to make lemon tarts or pies, this will be perfect.
