How to Make Lemon And Vanilla Puddle Pudding

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and the zest of 2 lemons until light and fluffy.
Add ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, 4 large egg yolks, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, one at a time, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
Butter a 9-inch ovenproof souffle dish or baking dish. Pour batter into the prepared dish. Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish (bain-marie).
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, and the lemon curd is set underneath.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
