When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Dessert

April 23, 2014 by AllFreeCasseroleRecipes 2 Comments

We know what you’re thinking: lemon desserts…on AllFreeCasseroleRecipes? Something seems out of place here, right? Well, no. Lemon is huge right now. It’s popping up everywhere. Yes, even in casseroles.

Lemon is always a great choice for spring and summer dining because it’s light and refreshing. When you have a sweet tooth on a hot day, sometimes rich, creamy chocolate is just too heavy (hard to believe, but it’s possible). Instead, opt for one of these easy lemon dessert recipes to satisfy your craving for something sugary.

Of course, our love affair with casseroles means that we don’t like recipes that aren’t simple and can’t be baked in a casserole dish. A lot of these recipes are dessert bars because it can’t get much easier than that! You’ll also find poke cakes, no-bake desserts, and more. And just because we love lemon so much, don’t miss the savory lemon bonus recipes!

    I have never made lemon curd before, but now I’m seriously tempted! Dear lord, that bread pudding. And the poke cake! (Though I don’t believe in boxed cake mixes.) I mostly use lemon for savory dishes, typically with white wine and/or home-grown rosemary, but I do love a good helping of lemon zest in shortbread and sugar cookies.

    Let’s just home we don’t have the same shortages with lemons as with limes!

    Lemony indulgences are one of my all-time favorite things to enjoy because they are usually very light, fresh and a little tart, which I love. Lemon also screams summer to me, and as we get closer to those hot summer days, I can’t help dreaming of mouth watering lemon bars, lemon custard tarts, and a new favorite I just discovered thanks to the bartender at my old restaurant job: lavender lemonade martinis. Due to the delicate floral undertones, lemony tartness and subtle sweetness, they are the perfect summer cocktail. Further, they are easily transformed into a mocktail if you plan to serve them at a summer cook out, or pool party where there might be kids. Here is a simple recipe for this tasty treat:

    – 6 fresh lavender heads, plus extra to serve (infuse either in vodka or with sugar and boiling water for a simple syrup — this recipe is for the simple syrup)
    – 4 cups boiling water
    – 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    – 2 large lemons
    – 10-14 tbsp vodka

    Place the lavender in a small bowl and cover with 1 cup of boiling water and set aside to infuse. Meanwhile, add sugar and water to a small saucepan and simmer over a low heat. Stir gently until all the sugar is disolved. Take off the heat. Juice the lemons and add the juice to the sugar and water mixture. Strain out the lavender stems and any additional stray pieces from the smaller bowl of water and stir into the lemon mixture. Allow to cool, and add the vodka to personal preference. Enjoy served over ice or shaken and poured into a martini glass. Garnish with lemon slice and/or lavender sprig. For mocktail, simply leave out the vodka!
