I adore the tart flavor of lemon in sweet desserts. Really, lemon desserts are delicious all year long. But come spring, I crave them. Maybe it’s something about the longer and warmer days. If it’s one of your favorite flavors too, brighten up sweet treats with these lemon desserts for spring.<\/p>\n

When a lemon craving hits, whip up a batch of Becky Hudgins’<\/a> (Joshua, TX<\/a>) Lemon White Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a>. They can be made in no time.<\/p>\n

“Lemon cookies are so yummy and refreshing to the palate,” thinks Becky.<\/p>\n

If you love lemon, then you’ll adore the refreshing taste of these cookies. The base is a chocolate chip cookie recipe, but white chocolate chips are substituted. Candied lemon peel is the secret ingredient that amps the lemon flavor.<\/p>\n

Lemon curd is something I have handy in my fridge. Nickole Smith-Palacios<\/a> (New York, NY<\/a>) shared her Easy Peasy Lemon Curd<\/a> which is a delicious one that’s super creamy.<\/p>\n

“This may just be my favorite thing to make (and eat, lol) but it’s not so friendly to the waistline,” jokes Nickole. “It’s absolutely delish on scones and muffins.”<\/p>\n

Nickole is right, there are many uses for lemon curd. It can be spooned over pound cake or used as a filling for a simple boxed cake. Have frozen phyllo dough tarts? Bake them, add some lemon curd, and you have an easy dessert.<\/p>\n

Trish Morris’<\/a> Lemon Ginger Crunch Parfait’s<\/a> are perfect if you’re having friends over for dinner. Every person gets their own parfait and I guarantee their dish will be clean.<\/p>\n

“This lemon filling is so good you’ll never buy store-bought filling again,” shares Trish. “You can alter this recipe by using vanilla wafers if you don’t like ginger.”<\/p>\n

I opted to use candied ginger in the crust and loved the added punch of flavor. But, if you just use ground ginger and ginger snaps you’ll still have a delicious crust.<\/p>\n

The lemon filling is creamy, sweet, tart, and delicious! Dolloped on these tarts is a sweet and tangy cream cheese topping that is perfect on top.<\/p>\n

“This is the creamiest, most delicious lemon cheesecake,” promises Teresa G<\/a>. “Everyone who has tasted it has loved it.”<\/p>\n

Teresa’s Creamy Lemon Cheesecake<\/a> takes a little time to prepare due to the chill time, but it’s worth it. I love the intense lemon flavor in her cheesecake.<\/p>\n

Before this recipe, I had never used cream in a cheesecake, but I may from now on! I think it added extra creaminess to the cheesecake. The lemon curd on top adds that extra pop of flavor.<\/p>\n

When sliced, Maggie May Schill’s<\/a> (Jacksonville, FL<\/a>) Southern Lemon White Cake With Lemon Curd<\/a> is beautiful.<\/p>\n

Maggie came up with this recipe when lemons were on sale and she was playing around with her Southern-style white cake. And boy, did she succeed. This lemon white cake is phenomenal.<\/p>\n

Dense and moist, the cake’s not overly sweet. Her tart lemon curd helps to balance out the sweetness of the buttercream frosting. It’s fantastic.<\/p>\n

Since my love of sweets runs deep, I’m only spotlighting five lemon Blue Ribbon desserts. For even more lemon recipes, check out our Lovable Lemon recipe collection<\/a>. It’s filled with desserts and so much more. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
