Lemon Snow Pudding

This Lemon Snow Pudding recipe uses lemon-flavored gelatin, boiling water, lemon juice (optional), and egg whites to create a delicious dessert. The gelatin is dissolved in hot water to create a base and then flavored with lemon juice (if desired).

The egg white is beaten until stiff peaks form, then folded into the chilled gelatin mixture to create a light and fluffy texture. The lemon snow is then poured into individual serving dishes and chilled until set.


Do I need to use the lemon juice?

The lemon juice is optional, but it adds a tart and refreshing flavor to the lemon snow. If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can omit the lemon juice.

Can I use a different flavor of gelatin?

Yes, you can use any flavor of gelatin you like. However, the lemon juice may not complement all flavors equally. For instance, orange or strawberry gelatin would pair well with lemon juice, while grape or cherry might not.

How can I tell when the lemon snow is done?

The lemon snow is done when it is set and no longer jiggly. You can test it by gently pressing a fingertip on the surface. If it leaves an indentation, it needs more chilling time.

How to make Lemon Snow Pudding

In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon-flavored gelatin and boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice, if using.

Let the gelatin mixture cool and thicken until it reaches a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer with clean beaters, beat the egg white on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the beaten egg white into the chilled gelatin mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the egg white.

Spoon the lemon snow mixture into individual serving dishes or a small mold.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
