This pudding is very light and fluffy, with a subtle taste of lemon. I was a little leary of the raw egg white in the pudding itself. I had trouble with the sauce, in that, when chilled, it came out more of a spread rather than a sauce. I don't know what I did wrong. If I made it again, I would try another sauce, maybe lemon this time. But all in all, it was a fun recipe to make and very tasty. Thanks, Ellie.
