Description

This Baked Key Lime Pie Pudding is a luscious and tangy dessert that combines the tartness of fresh key lime juice with the creamy sweetness of condensed milk and eggs. Baked to perfection with a golden top and a smooth, custard-like center, this pudding offers all the flavors of classic key lime pie in a simple, comforting dish. Perfect for a refreshing treat, it can be served warm or chilled with a dollop of whipped cream and extra lime zest for a zesty finish.

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 and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together fresh key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lime zest, and flour until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Melted Butter: Stir in the melted butter thoroughly, making sure it is fully incorporated into the batter for richness and moisture.
  4. Pour into Dish: Transfer the pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  5. Bake the Pudding: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set but still slightly jiggly, indicating a custard-like texture.
  6. Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the pudding cool for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly and enhance flavors.
  7. Add Toppings and Serve: Optionally, top with whipped cream and additional lime zest for extra creaminess and citrus aroma before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best authentic flavor; bottled lime juice can alter the taste.
  • Do not overbake the pudding to avoid a dry texture; the center should be set but still a bit soft.
  • Allow the pudding to cool adequately before serving for clean slices or spoonfuls.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature according to preference.
  • Adding additional lime zest on top enhances the citrus flavor and adds a decorative touch.
