A selection of 20 of the most popular and best lemon desserts from more than a decade on Rock Recipes. From cheesecakes to pies, tarts and turnovers they are 20 reasons for lemon lovers to celebrate!
As we approach Easter, I thought I’d put together this roundup of some of the most popular lemon desserts we have featured since Rock Recipes began back in 2007.
Easter in particular is always a time when lemon desserts always trend upward. I”m not really sure what connection folks have to lemon and the Spring/Easter season.
Perhaps the bright fresh flavour is a wake up call for the taste buds, after a long winter.
Lemon lovers like me are as as ardent in their passion for the flavour as chocolate lovers I know. I know if there is a lemon dessert on a menu I am drawn to it immediately.
Chocolate to me is an everyday thing. I mean, you can satisfy a chocolate craving at s moment’s notice by grabbing a chocolate bar or cookie.
Lemon is a celebration flavour for me, and with these amazing recipes, I hope it will be for you too.
