Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, granulated sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Slowly whisk in the cold water until a smooth paste is formed. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken and gently bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a single large bowl.
Step 6
Allow the pudding to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 7
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a small dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprig of mint for extra flair.
