2. Dreamy dessert: LemonGold®️ self-saucing pudding

If a soufflé and a pudding had a baby, this LemonGold®️ dessert would be it! The easy batter makes a light and airy sponge and soaks up a sharp and tangy lemon-curd-like sauce at the bottom of the dish. For finishing touches, make a simple LemonGold®️ marmalade (we suggest making extra to spread on toast) by simmering LemonGold®️ slices in a simple sugar syrup until chewy and translucent. If you're looking for a saucy pudding that isn't as rich as classics like malva and sticky toffee, this LemonGold®️ self-saucing pudding is your best bet!
