RomaCrunch® Cups with Lemon Pudding and Blackberries

Ingredients

• 2 heads RomaCrunch lettuce, bases cut off and divided into whole leaf cups
• Lemon pudding (recipe below)
• 1 pint blackberries
• ¼ cup roasted, chopped pistachio meats
• Lemon zest for garnish

Lemon Pudding

• 6 large egg yolks, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• ⅓ cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• 3 ½ cups whole milk
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

The Method

In a medium saucepan (off heat), whisk together yolks, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, salt and ½ cup of milk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 2 cups milk.

On medium heat, bring mixture to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly. Once it reaches a simmer, the mixture will thicken. Pull off heat when it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Pour mixture into a mixing bowl and place a layer of plastic wrap directly on top. Refrigerate until pudding cools completely, 2-3 hours, before serving.

Makes about 4 ½ cups of pudding.

To serve, spoon about 1 tablespoon of chilled lemon pudding into each RomaCrunch cup. Top each with a blackberry and sprinkling of roasted pistachios and lemon zest. Serve cold.

Note: Recipe makes approximately 20 pieces
