Notes

  • Always wash lemons before zesting or juicing them.
  • If juicing fresh lemons, it is best to strain them afterward to remove any unwanted pulp that often bypasses the juicer. It also ensures that seeds don't slip through.
  • Make sure to whisk the milk mixture in the pan to prevent the plant milk from burning on the bottom of the plan.
  • The slurry (the cornstarch/hot liquid mixture) is lump free. It should be smooth before adding it back into the large pan.
  • Cover the surface of the pudding with a round piece of parchment or plastic wrap and refrigerate until the pudding reaches 45 degrees F, approximately 2 hours.
  • Homemade pudding lasts in the fridge lasts 5-7 days.
