Self-saucing lemon pudding recipe with yuzu juice

The appeal of this lemon delicious pudding lies in its lightness of sponge, which is so airy you can barely believe it can carry the fragrant, creamy sauce. It works equally well as a soothing, warm dessert on a cold night or as a satisfying epilogue to a hearty, Sunday-lunch roast.

Yuzu, an Asian citrus fruit with a flavour that combines grapefruit, lemon and mandarin, gives the pudding an intensely pleasing floral note. It’s most easily found bottled in Asian grocers or online. If you can’t find it, substitute with grapefruit, lemon or mandarin juice.

Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature.
