Sugar Free Lemon Pudding cakes made for individual servings or made into one large cake, it's up to you! Low carb, sugar free and gluten free!
Fresh lemons make you pucker.
I love that.
Fresh lemons are antibacterial.
I love that.
Fresh lemons has a bazillion uses not only in recipes but in cleaning too.
I love that.
I realize I'm posting many lemon recipes but my weather here in little Rhode Island has been so cold that all I can do is make recipes that remind me of spring time.
This recipe comes directly from my Cook Book, Sugar Free Mom: Naturally Sweet & Sugar Free Recipes for the Whole Family!
It's a gift for you to use for the upcoming Easter holiday in just a few days!
If you don't feel like making it individual servings simply prepare it in one pie plate or an 8 by 8 baking dish.
One recipe tester mentioned she added some grated carrot for a citrus -y carrot cake style. She also made it dairy free by subbing the heavy cream with coconut cream and her entire family loved it!
I'm sticking with the lemon because....you know....I love that. 🙂

Have made this twice now, and both tasted great, sugar-free, and lemony, mmm wonderful. The first time I was in an Airbnb, so had to use a small baking dish that was available (and a lame immersion blender that barely beat the eggs,haha), it was smaller than 8x8 but the recipe came out great. Last night I used an 8x8 and it came out very thin, still delicious but not as presentable. I think the ramekins are the way to go, or a loaf pan size would be best.
I really appreciate your site and all the recipes you share!

does salt go in with lemon yolk mixture?
Brenda
Sorry there was a typo, add the salt when beating the egg whites.

I just moved to RI! My MIL is in hospital and I want to make these for her, but have no cream - would whole milk work? Thanks
Brenda
I think so yes. Welcome to RI!!
