Wash the lemon and finely grate its zest, avoiding the white pith. Mix pudding powder with 125 ml cold milk. Heat 375 ml reserved milk with 100 g sugar for about 5 minutes, whisk in cold mixture and boil while stirring for about 2 minutes until very thick. Spread in a shallow dish, cover the surface with film and cool for 20 minutes. Let Schmand temper out of the fridge during the same time. Mix Schmand, 50 g reserved sugar and zest. Gradually stir in cooled pudding until smooth and lump-free.
Use for the recipe: half an unwaxed lemon (prepare 1 unwaxed lemon).
