When life hands you lemons, make these lemon desserts

What is it about lemon desserts that makes them so special? It must be the magical way that citrus tang cuts through the sweetness of a just-baked pastry, cake or pudding, or the intoxicating fragrance of freshly grated lemon zest. We also love their sunny yellow brightness, which always looks impressive on a festive table.

Whether baked as a lemon tart or whipped into a summer-ready sorbetto, these are the lemon dessert recipes we repeatedly bake.
