Method

  1. Put two-thirds of the lemon curd into a large bowl with the zest and cream, then beat with an electric whisk until it just holds its shape. Dribble over the rest of the lemon curd and divide between 6 small glass pots or glasses, marbling the curd through as you go. Sit the pots on a small tray, cover the whole lot with cling film and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
  2. Put the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and bash with the end of a rolling pin to crumbs. When you're ready for pudding, remove the pots from the freezer (they should be ice cold but still soft and creamy), top with crumbs and serve.

Make ahead

You can make thse ahead of time, just store in the fridge and transfer to the freezer roughly 1-1½ hours before you plan to eat them.

    Riduculously little effort for such a tasty little pud. went down v well, almost embarrassing, will def make again. Used Lemon curd bought at local farm shop and made some lemon shortbread, more as a token gesture cos it was so easy!

    I agree with Mamma Smith's comments, it tastes like you've been in the kitchen for hours! A winner for any dinner with friends or just in a big bowl by yourself!

    Made this as a dessert for our first bbq of year - it was delicious and so easy! So impressive that I've made it twice since with a bit of a twist: I used raspberry curd and fresh raspberries instead of the lemon and the next time, lime curd with chocolate drops mixed in. I served these last two with chocolate chip cookies. Intend to carry on right through the summer with every variation I can think of and to take into account fruits in season!

    This is fantastic. So easy but totally impressive. I doubled the amount of cream and used Fudges lemon shortbread dipped in white chocolate on top. My cheffy pals can't believe how deceptively simple it is ...

    Absolutely delicious! I made my own plain shortbread to crumble on the top of the pudding and found that it didn't need any more lemon flavour. So easy to make!

    It was lovely and so easy to make- I was embarrassed to take the praise the dish received at my dinner party as I knew just how little effort went into making it!!

    If no lemon biscuits, after bashing the biscuits of your choice, add a few drops of lemon esence, works fine!
