Lemon Self Saucing Pudding
If you love citrus flavours, this is the dessert for you! Lemon delicious is a retro self saucing pudding – a lemon cake floats on top of a tangy sauce. An affordable dessert that's easy to make and a lighter alternative to chocolate pudding. This vegan version is very similar to the original, with the ommission of eggs and replacing dairy milk with plant based alternatives. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
