My husband and I recently went to a friend’s house for dinner and I was asked to bring something. I immediately thought of making something with lemons because I know she loves anything lemon. With it’s fresh and tart flavor, nothing puts a pucker on my face or makes my heart smile more than a lemon dessert<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Ann McCue<\/a><\/strong> (Side Lake, MN<\/a><\/strong>) set a high expectation for her Melt in Your Mouth Lemon Bars<\/a><\/strong> so I was intrigued to try them. “Lemon lover or not, these bars are so melt in your mouth you’ll want to eat the whole pan,” joked Ann. <\/p>\n

And she’s right… they’re good. They turned out every bit as yummy as Ann said! Perfectly sweet and tart, these creamy bars are perfect for dessert, with afternoon tea, as a midnight snack, or even for breakfast as a treat.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a super simple lemon bar recipe (only five ingredients!), try Amber Moon’s<\/a><\/strong> Easy Crescent Dough Lemon Bars<\/a><\/strong>. “My mom now requires me to make these for her birthday while the kids ask for them all the time,” shares Amber. “Use more butter if you want a richer baked good, or less if you want it more bread-like.”<\/p>\n

Gosh, these couldn’t be any easier to whip up. The layers of lemon curd, butter, and crescent dough create a creamy filling. Sprinkling powdered sugar on top and then baking makes the perfect crunchy sugar topping. So good!<\/p>\n

“Experimenting in the kitchen, I came up with this special cake recipe and frosting,” explains Jan Knowles’s <\/a><\/strong>(Grand Saline, TX<\/a><\/strong>). “My friends are begging me to make this Luscious Lemonade Cake<\/a><\/strong> for their get-togethers and birthdays.”<\/p>\n

This will be perfect at your next picnic or family reunion. Adding yogurt to a boxed lemon cake mix adds a ton of moisture to the cake and makes preparation a breeze. Jan puts lemon juice in her frosting which lends lemon flavor to every bite. A lemon lover’s dream recipe!<\/p>\n

Teresa G.’s<\/a><\/strong> Creamy Lemon Cheesecake<\/a><\/strong> has such an intense lemon flavor and it’s fabulous! “This is the creamiest, most delicious lemon cheesecake,” promises Teresa. “Everyone who has tasted it has loved it.”<\/p>\n

You can add me to that list! I’d never added cream to a cheesecake filling, but I may from now on. I think it brought extra creaminess to the recipe. I loved the extra pop of flavor in this great lemon cheesecake from the homemade lemon curd on top. It’s so good!<\/p>\n

“This is a recipe that came about because of my love of all things lemon,” explains Mary Nell Forester<\/a><\/strong> (Billings, MO<\/a><\/strong>) about how she came up with her Lemony Doodles<\/a><\/strong>. “My kids and grandkids love snickerdoodles. One night I was playing around and thought I want to make a lemon cookie but couldn’t find a recipe that I liked so I decided that I would experiment.” <\/p>\n

Mary Nell’s experiment was a success! I just couldn’t walk away from this plate of cookies. Lightly sweet and lightly lemony, these delicate cookies really hit the spot. I recommend serving these delicious treats ANY time of the day.<\/p>\n

While I could start every day with Sylvia Waldsmith’s<\/a><\/strong> (Gautier, MS<\/a><\/strong>) Lemon Breakfast Cake<\/a><\/strong>, I’d say this isn’t just for breakfast. “This cake is a moist, delicious cake that gets rave reviews everywhere I take it,” says Sylvia. What makes it so moist is the ricotta and pudding mix that’s added to a basic lemon cake mix. Easy and delicious this cake is lemon-y goodness.<\/p>\n

If you love lemon, I highly suggest trying one of these exquisite lemon dessert recipes. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
