LEMON PUDDING COBBLER
A refreshing, tangy lemon cobbler made with a lemon pudding and lemon zest topped with cool whip.
It’s funny I never used to eat lemon desserts much…..I’m not sure why. Now I realize what I have been missing out on all these years!
Stop everything and GIMME!
This lemon cobbler is cake-y or should I say cobbler-y. It bakes into a cake-like-cobbler and makes it’s own gooey lemon sauce. After you top it with cool whip you have a rich creamy zesty lemon cobbler.
Yeah that.
You will be surprised how easy this cobbler is. It’s a simple homemade cake recipe and a boxed lemon pudding mix.
Of course, you can use a boxed cake mix if you prefer, just prepare it as directed on the box and if you want to go all out feel free to make your lemon pudding homemade.
Don’t forget the lemon zest.
Once you prepare the cake batter you will pour it into a cake pan.
Then you will pour hot water on top of the cake batter, as directed.
I promise you won’t be disappointed.
The most important step of making this cake is to not stir the water.
You will leave standing water on top of the cake batter.
Yep, true that.
The water will seep into the cake as it bakes and that’s what gives it it’s own sweet creamy pudding sauce.
Top with cool whip when done.
