Lemon Creamsicle Puddin

Make Lemonade Out of Lemons, Then Make Lemon Creamsicle Puddin Out of Lemonade

I had a partial bottle of organic lemonade from Trader Joe’s. It was forever in my fridge. It became fair game in my pudding quests. Wow! Spot on! I added extra sweet-sour and turmeric powder for color to make this pudding light up!

I also enjoy making another version to include: lemon extract, malted milk powder, and an egg which made this pudding more like a lemon custard version of a creamsicle.

WET INGREDIENTS:

lemonade – 1 1/2 cups
oat milk – 1/2 cup, or half-n-half or other thick, bodied milk
rice vinegar – 2 TBS
vanilla extract – 1 tsp
lemon extract – 1/2 tsp [optional]

sugar – 2 TBS
salt – 1/8 tsp
turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp

ginger powder – 1/2 ts.
malted milk powder – 2 TBS [optional]

GARNISH: candied ginger

INSTRUCTIONS: If using egg, after Step 3, spoon the hot liquid into a beaten egg while vigorously whisking, then pour back into the pot again while whisking.

Combine the dry ingredients in a small pot
Slowly whisk in a half cup of wet ingredients to dissolve the dry mix; then add the rest

Whisk into a serving bowl or individual serving cups
