LEMON PUDDING COBBLER
A refreshing, tangy lemon cobbler made with a lemon pudding mix and lemon zest topped with whip cream.
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!
And if you don’t give this lemon pudding cobbler a try, you will not know what you are missing!
This is the best lemon dessert I have ever had. Pinky swear! It taste even better than it looks!
This week I’m making cobbler puddings. I’ve made a Chocolate Cobbler Pudding and now this lemon pudding cobbler. Check back this week to see what other cobbler puddings I have lined up!
You will be surprised how easy this cobbler is! It’s a simple homemade cake recipe made with a box of lemon pudding and lemon zest.
You will prepare the cake batter, add lemon pudding mix and lemon zest then pour it into a cake pan. Then you will top the cake with boiling water.
The most important step of making this cake is not to stir the water.
I wondered how it would turn out using a pudding mix with water, since pudding mix calls for milk.
I was very happy to see it turned out just as I was hoping it would!
It made a nice gooey pudding running through the cobbler with a delicious tangy lemon flavor.
It’s to die for!
Top each serving with cool whip and this will be everyone’s new favorite dessert! Pinky swear!
