Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Lightly grease 4 mini pudding basins. Thin the lemon curd with 1 tbsp lemon juice and divide between the basins, then scatter in half the stem ginger.
  2. Put the basins in a roasting tin. Put the kettle on to boil.
  3. Cream the reduced-fat spread and caster sugar together with the lemon zest until fluffy then gradually beat in the egg, followed by the flour and baking powder. Add the lemon juice, plus 2 tbsp warm water to give a pourable batter.
  4. Divide between the basins, then pour boiling water into the roasting tin to come halfway up the basins. Cover the tin with a tent of foil and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and cooked through. Leave to settle for 5 minutes, then turn out and serve.

    I can't normally be bothered with puds and am not a huge lemon curd fan but my mum wanted to try these. They were sooo good. Piping hot with lots of custard - yum, I'll do them again.

    Served this for a formal lunch. I used all the stem ginger for the topping. Really good with vanilla icecream or custard.

    Didn't have mini pud basins so used tea cups think it would also work using jam or golden syrup good for low fat pud.

    Really easy and light, I added a little ginger syrup to the lemon curd mixture too as you can never have enough ginger in my book!

    Loved them. Made them in small ramekins as suggested just in case. Also added extra ginger as my husband loves it.
