Ingredients

Scale

Key Lime Pudding

  • 3/4 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Topping (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Additional lime zest


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lime zest, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add Butter: Stir in the melted butter until it is fully incorporated into the pudding mixture, adding richness and moisture.
  4. Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared mixture evenly into the greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly, indicating the pudding is done.
  6. Cool: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pudding cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, allowing it to set further for easier serving.
  7. Serve: Optionally, top the pudding with whipped cream and sprinkle with additional lime zest for added flavor and presentation before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh key limes or good quality bottled key lime juice for the best flavor.
  • The pudding should be slightly jiggly in the center when done to ensure a creamy texture.
  • You can refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Whipped cream topping is optional but adds a nice balance to the tartness.
