Lemon Delicious

With lemon as its main ingredient, this dessert boasts tart and aromatic flavours from the zesty citrus fruit, contained in a moist and fluffy pudding. We can't think of anything more perfect with a scoop (or two) of ice-cream to get through the hot days, or as a self-saucing, delectable post-dinner treat.
