Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake

Coastal Huckleberry Compote

Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

White Chocolate – Citrus Bark

Method

Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Zest and juice the Meyer lemons. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.

  2. 2

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger pan and fill the outer pan with water to create a water bath. Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden and set.

  3. 3

    Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Coastal Huckleberry Compote

  1. 4

    Make the Compote

    In a saucepan, combine fresh huckleberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries burst and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

  1. 5

    Churn the Ice Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

White Chocolate – Citrus Bark

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bark

    Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Stir in citrus zest. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread evenly. Let it cool completely before breaking into pieces.
