These are the 21 BEST Lemon Dessert Recipes! From lemon cupcakes to cheesecake, pie, muffins and more you'll find something LEMON you LOVE!

You know what’s funny? Before I started this blog I hated lemon desserts. At least, that’s what I thought. It’s what I always said, “EWWW, lemon!” but I was crazy. And wrong, so very, very wrong. I tried a lemon cookie one day and I was instantly hooked. From cookies to pastries to cheesecake to pie – lemon is my #2 dessert flavor, after chocolate. That’s probably the reason I have so many lemon recipes on this blog! I wanted to highlight my favorites, and here they are: the BEST Lemon Recipes!

  1. Oooh, definitely need that ice cream in my life soon!  I love all the lemon things, especially in the spring – so many things here I want to make ASAP!

  2. Oh my gosh, I LOVE lemon desserts! I really don’t think I could pick one. They all look sinfully delicious!

  3. Love, love lemon!  This is a great collection and sure to be tries around here, XOXO

  4. The golden oreo dessert was a huge hit last summer at my house. This is an awesome collection of all things citrusy! I can’t wait to try some of these other recipes in the future. 🙂 

  5. My favorite is the milkshake. I made that back when you posted it and it was SO good. But my goal is to make the cake roll. I’m still a little afraid of a roll without ganache on top to hide the cracks!
    It’s time to be getting all the lemon going! It’s spring! Great roundup, Dorothy.
