This was a delightful dessert. I had a bite as soon as I pulled it from the oven. It was warm, lemony heaven.

As with TasteTester, I used 4 large custard cups for this recipe & this very lemony dessert was AWESOME, but then we're lemon lovers, so. . . ~ I even used generously rounded measures of the lemon zest! Thanks, much, for a great lemon treat! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Maky My Recipe tag]

My sons love recipes with lemon, so this one caught my eye. It turned out beautifully browned after baking (and thank goodness they didn't rise up over the custard cups -- I only had 4 and filled them to the top). They came out with a cake-like layer on the top and a very pudding-like layer on the bottom. When I took them out of the oven, let them cool for about 20 minutes and served them, there was a crisp topping like a creme brulee; your spoon cracked through the top and made for a great texture with the other layers. After refrigerating the one that was left, the top crust got soft -- for the very best texture and taste I would recommend serving them before refrigerating them. Thanks for posting, Pat!
