When Life Hands You Lemons – Make Lemon Desserts

By: Paula

When life hands you lemons – make lemon desserts!! Of course.

The best lemon desserts are the ones you have available to eat right now. I swear to you on all that I cherish, if the world of flavours dried up tomorrow and there was only lemon left, I would be totally fine with that. Lemon is my favourite flavour of all, ever. It makes me happy.

Nothing like lemon to signal spring, summer, or even just a change of seasons. I just love it. My favourite of all time is lemon merengue pie. But lemon squares and tarts and even lemon flavoured cake makes me happy. So I rounded up a few of the best ones I could find to share with you.

    Great roundup! I love lemon desserts, especially in spring, they’re so fresh! In Denmark, most places only sell pre-packaged produce, so I often end up with way more than I need… especially lemons and limes, so this list will come in handy 🙂

  6. Sandy says

    Thank you so much for this! I love lemon everything….honestly even better than a lot of chocolate desserts. 😉

  7. Susan Quackenbush says

    What wonderful recipe ideas! My favorite are the Pink Lemonade Cookies! I rarely ever think to make lemon flavored desserts even though it’s one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes for us!

    Lemon is my favourite dessert flavour. I recently got into drinking lemon water but then immediately (like 2 weeks later) I had a dentist appt and they told me to stop due to my teeth (I guess I have sensitive teeth or something). But anything lemon desserty I will never turn down – oh man, so good. Especially now this time of year when the weather is just warming up. Perfect!

      I agree Nancy and wow that’s weird about the lemon water. I will need to pay attention to that because I do have sensitive teeth and the enamel is challenged. LOL.

    My daughter’s favorite is lemon and her bday is coming up. I’ll have to make this!

    Lemon always makes me think spring time and fresh time of year. I love lemon squares they are one of my favorite desserts. This is a great collection of lemon recipes for the spring time.

  15. Kelly Hutchinson says

    What a great collection of lemon desserts! I really like the flavor combination of lemon and raspberry, so the pound cake looks like a winner to me! The lemon bundt cake would also be popular in our home!

    We have a small lemon tree in the backyard that produces tons on lemons.. and I am always in the look for some good desserts. Thanks for sharing these links..

    We had this delicious lemon cake for Easter with butter cream frosting. It was shaped like an egg and had the cutest little piping around the edge. I wish it had been bigger! I love lemon!

    I love the taste of lemon because it is so refreshing unlike other naturally sweet fruits. It is also one of my favorite flavors. These treats for desserts all look delicious. The lemon sweet rolls and lemon springtime cookies are excellent as snacks in the office.

  22. Lauren Harmon says

    I’m totally a lemon fanatic (but hate it in my water, weird fact) and LOVE all of these recipes. I’ve made a lemon meringue lately that’s mind blowing but these recipes will probably take the cake! Can’t wait to give them all a try! 🙂
