Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch
  • pinch salt
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 5 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon peel
  • ½ cup cream whipped
  • 6 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • Stir together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Slowly whisk in the milk.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 1 more minute.
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in the lemon juice and peel.
  • Chill for 1-2 hours. (This allows the lemon zest to flavor the pudding.)
  • Press through a metal strainer to remove lemon zest and any lumps.
  • Beat cream till stiff and blend in the powdered sugar. Fold into the lemon mixture. 
  • Slice strawberries and toss with a little bit of sugar. Stir till sugar is dissolved.
  • Layer pudding mixture and strawberries in parfait glasses. Enjoy!

Notes

-I don't like the texture of the zest in the mousse, so I strain it. If it doesn't bother you, feel free to skip that step.
