11 Lemon Desserts to Try in Celebration of Spring
When life gives you lemons, make a delicious citrusy treat!
Lemon desserts have a way of showing up right when you need them most. Like stepping outside in a light jacket for the first time all year, lemon delivers a bright refreshing flavor you need you get you out of the winter doldrums.
Tangy, sunny, and just sweet enough — from simple Lemon Creme Sandwich Cookies to a No-Bake Lemon Bar Cheesecake — it's the flavor that wakes everything up.

Spring desserts should feel like a little celebration, and lemon, reliably and deliciously, always shows up to the party.
