yummy, but watery

I followed the directions exactly and was very diligent not to get any of the water bath water into the pudding . . . but it was still watery. It was delicious, though. I tried the recipe twice, and had the same results both times.

This is a fresh tasting and delicious dessert that is easy! For perfect results put only 1/4 inch of hot water in your pan, put this in the oven, then follow with your pan filled with batter. I used individual souffle dishes -- they came out perfect. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Perfect complement to our heavy Italian dinner!
Great!

This dish was delicious. However when you make it make sure you have someone to share it with. Too much of it at one time is overwhelming.

The taste is terrific however the top browned but the pudding never hardened. It remained a soupy consistency.
a little soggy

I solved the runny bottom problem by omitting the use of the water bath. I also cooked it for 45 minutes. The texture was still soggy, but not runny. The flavor was great!
I figured out the watery problem

Make sure the water you put in the water bath is HOT. I didn't read the instructions closely enough and used cold water and had the water pudding problem too.

Great flavor, but you might try using an extra egg yolk to firm things up a bit. I also added extra zest for a bit more zing!

I wanted to jazz up this recipe for a party I was throwing so I added a teaspoon of Limoncello lemon liqueur to each serving and it tasted amazing.

I actually made this to use with Rachael Ray's Lemon Chicken recipe, and enjoyed it so much that I made it again for dessert! Great recipe...as usual...from Paula. You might check out RR's recipe for your leftover curd. Also delicious and very easy.
USE RAMEKINS!
11/01/2005 at 07:59pm
User: Tara from Atlanta, GA User Rating:
I solved the "watery" problem by using ramekins instead of the 8x8x2 inch pan. Butter 8 ramekins and put them in a large 13x9x2 inch baking pan and bake as directed 35 min on 350. They will be absolutely perfect and already in single serving dishes. Also, make sure your water is boiling hot (I heat mine in the tea kettle), the egg whites must be stiff, and don't over-mix the egg whites into the mixture. This super easy recipe will impress your guests!

User: Suzanne from royal oak, MI User Rating:
This dessert always goes over well with my guests. I replace the half/half with Fat Free half and half and it's still wonderful. Be sure not to over-mix when you add the egg whites. The stiffness really helps the pudding to set up. I've found that pouring *boiling* water into the water bath also helps the pudding to set up better. Still, even when it's a bit runny, it's delicious.

User: PEPPER from Las Vegas, NV User Rating:
After reading negative reviews about this I had to jump in. Depending on your oven temperature, humidity, water bath temperature,etc. this may look runny after 35 minutes. It took mine almost an hour to set up at the recommended temperature. Don't despair....it won't burn. Keep an eye on it, add an additional 10 minutes at a time to the baking time and you will be very pleased with the outcome. Make sure you do use boiling water, though, and your egg whites are stiff. I served this with a scoop of gelato, some whipped cream and a little grated lemon zest and it was a huge hit. Light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness.
Light and fluffy

This was really good. Perfect for a summer dessert. I topped mine with Cool Whip. It tastes like a fluffy lemon version of egg custard. As for the watery problem other people had, I didn't have this happen to mine. From past cooking experiences, I do know that if you don't beat the egg whites long enough that it will cause this problem.
Great for summer and a party hit

Use a large bowl for the final folding. Great fresh lemon flavor...may also be good with other citrus such as lime or orange.

I have made this several times. I leave out the zest and add a little extra lemon juice. It is suppose to be soupy on the bottom. I use a square pan and bake for exactly 30 minutes, comes out great. this is the first of Paula's recipes I tried. love it

User: Anonymous User Rating:
when my friend and i saw this recipe, we were enthusiastic to say the least. to our horror, when it came out of the oven, it was a liquidy mess. my mother ate it and became very ill. it was firm at the top, but a strange grainy consistency. at the bottom, it was a gelatin-like green goo. we followed all of the steps perfectly, but we were very very dissapointed. we expected a lot more from paula. tip: dont put whipped cream on top, it melts and makes it worse. good try!
a little too tangy
06/12/2007 at 03:07am
User: Anonymous User Rating:
It would have been better a little creamier and a little less tangy. Mine turned out runnier than it should have. The top definitely turns out (and tastes like) meringue. If you like the eggy taste, then it is for you.
I'm in the "running" too

User: CINDY from Midwest City, OK User Rating:
I followed the recipe to the exact science, EXCEPT I didn't use boiling water for the bath. I used hot tap water since the recipe says to use "hot". I figured my tap water at full force was quite hot enough. I had a floating island too. While it didn't taste too bad, I dumped it out. Along with the hot water, I'm guessing that perhaps my egg whites weren't as stiff as they should've been. I might try this again just to see if I can get it to look as good as Paula's did.
Awesome!

I made this for my mother who loves lemon, and we both agreed it was the best lemon dessert we'd ever tried. the only thing is, keep your eggwhites away from everything else because if they get a speck of lemon in them they won't beat.

Everyone has it turn out runny is because it is supposed to be runny. Watch the show again and you will notice that hers is litterally floating on liquid. the proper texture comes from mixing the top and bottom at the time of serving. Excellent flavor.

Paula, what is the secret to getting this recipe to firm up?!!! The flavor is very good, but mine also turned out watery. I've made it about 6 times and have been careful with the water and made sure the water was hot but still no success. Too bad because otherwise it would have been wonderful.
I didn't like it that much.

I love any dishes that are lemon-based. However, I was very disappointed with the outcome of my pudding with this recipe. The problem may have been that I used home-grown Meyer lemons. They are juicier and more flavorful than regular grocery lemons, and this recipe was not able to handle that variance.

User: NANDITA from Rochester, NY User Rating:
I loved the recipe for its simplicity, but when i got down to making it today- i kept it in the water bath for 35 min, the top was done, but the middle was totally watery. I then put some foil on the top and kept for it for 10 more minutes. Still no luck. Now i have removed it from water bath and kept it by itself in the 350 degree oven, and i am awaiting results I now note on reading reviews that one has to pour HOT water in the bath, i used room temp water, and i think thats where the problem lied, because i have followed rest of the instructions to the T. I somehow missed this one. Probably will try it next time with hot water

After reading all of the reviews on this recipe I don't feel so alone about the water problem!!! It finally thickened up after 3 days in the fridge when the top part mixed more with the liquidy lemon bottom portion. I watched her make the recipe and followed it EXACTLY!!! The eggs whites were stiffly beaten and folded in gently, the water bath was very hot and did not get into the curd (I was very careful), I used the exact size pan recommended!! You name it, so all the suggestions mentioned will not change anything! I suggest if you don't want lemon soup dont try this one! However, if you would like to wait while refrigerated for a couple of days then it does help thicken it a bit. I personally loved it after the wait!!! I can really relate the the serve with a straw comment!LOL
