To begin making Creamy Lemon Pudding I cut two lemons in half.  If desired for garnish later, zest one of the lemons.

Next I squeezed out enough juice to make 1/4 cup.

Then I dumped some almond milk, granulated sugar, egg yolks and corn starch into a large microwaveable measuring cup.

I used a wire whisk to blend these ingredients together.

After stirring, I put the measuring cup into the microwave on High Power for 4 -6 minutes, stirring every two minutes.

The pudding will be ready once it boils and thickens.

When the pudding was cooked I allowed it to cool for about 5 minutes, stirring once.

After 5 minutes it will still not be set but I stirred in the lemon juice that I had squeezed earlier.

I spooned it into serving dishes and the size you choose will impact the number of servings.

 

After filling my serving cups I allowed the pudding to cool and completely set before serving.

You can also put them in the refrigerator to set more quickly, and if you do not want to serve the pudding warm.

 

Whether your guests are all dairy free or not I am sure this creamy lemon dessert will be a hit!  Add some dairy free whipped topping if you prefer.

 

With or without the whipped topping, Creamy Lemon Pudding is a nice, easy dessert recipe to serve up any time of the year.
