Ingredients

    • 1 large lemon
    • 75 grams fresh white breadcrumbs
    • 1 tbsp lurpak lighterr
    • 2.5 tbsp Splenda brown sugar blend
    • 450 ml skimmed milk
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 tbsp sugar free strawberry jam
    • sliced strawberries for decoration (optional)


Directions

Place the finely grated rind of the lemon in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, butter and 15 grams of the sugar.

Heat the milk until hot, but not boiling, and pour on to the breadcrumbs. Mix well, cover, and leave to stand for 1 hour.

Separate the eggs. Reserve 3 yolks and 2 whites. Whisk the 3 egg yolks into the breadcrumb mixture, then pour into a buttered 850ml pie dish.

Cook in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes until the pudding is lightly firm to the touch.

Leaving the oven on, remove the dish and carefully spread the jam evenly over the top of the pudding.

Whisk the 2 egg whites in a bowl until stiff but not dry. Gradually whisk in the rest of the sugar, a little at a time, to make a stiff and shiny meringue.

Spoon or pipe the meringue on top of the pudding. Return to the oven for about 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.

Decorate with strawberry slices, or serve them separately. Serve the dessert hot from the oven.
