Love the use of whole lemon. We should all do more to use whole lemons, & not throw them away after juice + zest 🍋💛

[@bharathivengadasalam8749]

This was gorgeously delicious. Our guests said it was to die-for ! Thank you......outstanding !!

[@SailorMoonicorn]

These two ladies were such a joy to watch! Definitely going to be making this pudding in the near future. :)

[@madebywera5048]

I made this yesterday for my birthday and it is SO GOOD! I'm not an expert baker, quite the opposite, but the result is really superb! The spunge cake came out perfect and fluffy and the lemon syrup brings additional zing to the whole thing. With the amount of butter used in this, it's quite decadent

[@andyallybic]

OTK, I love how you collaborate together. Verena so much implicit technique and love for what you're doing. Noor, just a joy to learn from. I recognize that you are both probably far more accomplished than I know - I'm a culinary idiot- but please keep this team together.

[@JimWarp93]

OMG - what a dessert - this will definitely be made next week when I am back home!

[@debbycoley]

Looks like a dream dessert! Thanks for another great recipe! Happy Holidays!

[@otrie]

Lemons are my very close friends for sure, yumsters!!! My grandfather had a lemon tree in his backyard that gave us grapefruit-sized lemons. Thanks for this recipe! :)

[@HappyHungryHibby]

Absolutely love this pudding, made with sheer infusion and love! This would make an amazing show piece dessert, thanks for the inspiration. I'm a big fan of your work and love this cookbook, which I actually cover on my own YT channel! Superb video & editing, I appreciate the effort gone into this. Keep up the great work. I also want to wish you a happy & prosperous New Year for 2022. James

[@wreckedbmwguy9925]

My wife made this a week ago and it was fantastic! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Catswearingbowties444]

I used 2 tea baking powder, which worked well at sea level. Served with Greek yogurt instead of crème fraiche and the whole thing was very delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

Oh my this is to die for

[@roryhamilton513]

Great recipe. I’m going to give it a go. And there will be no “fannying around” 🤣👌

[@ChelseaUSA]

Brilliant pudding!

[@TJ-mc8uh]

Yummy!!

[@mrsweedwalker]

Noor and Verena make a great team!

[@jettabartholomew1118]

YUMMMM 😋

[@mytilibala9709]

This is incredible. If halving the recipe, just do 2 whole eggs -- works fine.

[@jessicalt4121]

My mom used to make chocolate steamed pudding in a large steel container with top over boiling water. She’d cover the cake like dessert with a sweet vanilla cream. Heavenly. Has anyone ever tried that recipe or heard of it?

[@narsreenjohnson4966]

do u havethe recipe sounds mmmmmmi would love it

[@narsreenjohnson4966]

ihad a steamed date pudding on the ship called oransey never have i found that recipe that tastes like it

[@nicholaslandolina]

Sounds like chocolate pudding

[@samiasafer450]

Beautiful

[@jenniferbassett3001]

You two are hilarious, entertaining, informative and I'm excited to make this dessert! One question however, can you eat the peel of those lemons? Thank you in advance and Happy New Year!

[@sophiborovik6563]

yes - lemon peal is edible

[@baby_muppy]

yes, but they could be bitter - personally i would use a meyer lemon to line the bottom of the pan as their peels are thinner, more tender, and less bitter than most lemon varieties

[@edeljmc]

Hi. Can you use oil instead of butter? Thanks

[@mariahw3041]

Can you do more variations of this?! 🤗🤗

[@roankai]

You forgot the baking powder in the ingredients list on the website :)

[@jflsdknf]

This looks divine. Is the recipe in the Shelf Love book?

[@madebywera5048]

yes!

[@mariekevandegraaff2898]

Can you tell me what the oven temperature is? In the recipe below is the baking powder missing.

[@mariekevandegraaff2898]

Oh and thank you for the recipe! On to it now!

[@OSheaDean]

You can't say Varena's the chocolate lady, and not then give us another video w/ chocolate! ASAP please 🙏

[@_o__o_]

healthy

[@narsreenjohnson4966]

why no baking poweder?also instead of creme fresh can i put yogurt in there?

[@baby_muppy]

it would probably work with yogurt instead of creme fraiche but make sure to use full fat yogurt.

[@jillianleiboff6650]

In the video Verena adds baking powder but it's missing in the Food 52 recipe. The recipe includes 2 tsp of baking powder.

[@nicolekraft175]

Idk this was stressful to watch. I feel like the two ladies aren't vibing with each other. I feel like noor is constantly talking over the other lady and the other lady feels very rushed when shes talking.

[@natalieharris8602]

What a hodgepodge of flavors.

[@quinnaddison420]

Remind me where you trained at as a chef? Comments like these are dumb. These humans are trained. Where’s your food channel Natalie?

[@luckybarrel7829]

Eat healthy people!

[@emilys9365]

Yes, definitely don't eat the sick ones 🤣

[@estoniass]

@@emilys9365 genius xD

[@jessicalt4121]

I made a comment about chocolate steamed pudding but gone? I don’t get these sites.

[@Bexsta]

I can see your other comment about chocolate steamed puddings. Perhaps, refresh the page?

[@susankilpatrick2918]

I see it too! YAH!
