1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Place a fine-mesh sieve over a medium heatproof bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolks; add to saucepan.
Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high until mixture thickens and is bubbling, 8 to 12 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, whisking, 1 minute.
Remove pan from heat and pour mixture through sieve into bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla until combined.
Press plastic wrap directly against surface of pudding to prevent skin from forming and refrigerate 3 hours (or up to 3 days). Whisk lemon juice into chilled pudding. To serve, whisk until smooth and divide among four small bowls.
