This delicate Irish pudding combines the natural gel properties of dried carrageen moss with the bright zest of lemon and the warmth of honey. The result is a light, airy dessert that sets beautifully without being heavy. The infusion process extracts a subtle oceanic freshness from the carrageen, which pairs surprisingly well with the sweet-tart citrus profile. Whipped cream and beaten egg whites are folded in at the end to create a cloud-like texture that melts on the tongue. It is an elegant, traditional treat perfect for spring dinners or as a refreshing finish to a rich meal.
