  I made these to end of a Sunday roast. I chose it last minute so didn't have any limes at hand so just added more lemon. Simply delicious, even if it was only lemon flavoured. Everyone loved it. I made 6 teacup sized portions out of the recipe and served it with custard. Lovely moussy textured pudding with a tangy lemon curd bottom. Will definitely make it again and try it with lime next time. As I made them before my roast, all I did was stick them into the microwave for 30 seconds to warm them up abit.

  I love sharp desserts but this one would not be top of my list. There was nothing wrong with it, the texture was lovely and it looked impressive but I felt it was lacking something. It might have been nicer with a blob of cream or ice-cream. I might try it again just using lemon juice.

  Very popular with all the family. I used 4 medium eggs, full fat milk and the juice and rind of 2 small lemons. I divided the mixture between 10 small ramekins and cooked them in my small table top oven, in 2 batches, for 30 mins. Perfect and ideal for entertaining.

  This was tasty & light. We were both impressed with the end result as my oven can be tempremental - nothing to do with the chef! I made half the recipe, 3 teacups, and the extra pud mysteriously disappeared!! I will make this again for sure.

  Really quick and a great light end to a dinner party. We had it with vanilla ice-cream, went great with the lemon curd bottom! Slightly too sweet, but no problem with a small portion, will be making again!

  I have made these puddings quite a few times now, but decided today to try them using grapefruit and oranges,having tasted the juice and found it to be quite sweet I decided to add 50g less sugar ie 150g instead of 200g, this worked incredibly well so now I am going to try orange and lemon and orange and lime so that I can have the same puds with different flavours

  Not sure what I did wrong but it was all watery inside after the cooking time. Put it in for longer but it never really set. Were the egg whites supposed to be very stiff or just well whisked? Mine were latter. Still nice flavours though.

  I found that I needed about 5 limes and I only had 1 lime which made 10 ml of juice so be careful with this recipe. In the end I used 2 whole lemons and 1 lime to make 100ml juice. Was really zesty and tasty. Was quite nice cold also, had 1 left over, it goes a bit like lemon curd. MMm

  These are fantastic light puddings. I too made them after a Sunday roast and they were fabulously light but tasty. Was a bit worried they were undercooked as they were light sponge at top and gooey at bottom but went with it and thoroughly enjoyed them. Like lemon curd and mousse all in one. I'm not a huge citrus pudding fan but will be making these time and again. :-)

  this was oh so yummy-licious. I halved the sugar as I thought it didn't need that much sugar, glad I did as the sweetness was just perfect.

  Absolutely delicious. Baked in advance and heated for 1 minute in microwave before serving with lemon curd ice cream.

  This is a delicious low calorie desert to finish off your meal. The recipe makes 6 x 200ml ramekin dishes and the yummy curd it makes at the bottom on the pud is a nice surprise for your guests. Will make again and again

  Really nice little puddings - I multiplied up to make 5 or 6 but it made 9 of my size ramekins! I used 4 eggs, 70ml of each citrus juice and the corresponding zests and they were lovely and citrusy, moist and light. Just right for the light lunchtime pudding I was looking for - I did put a nice blob of vanilla ice-cream on the top after the other comments and this was an excellent addition as they predicted! Another great Good Food recipe!
