What pairs well with lemon in desserts?
Lemon is so versatile in desserts and it pairs beautifully with a variety of flavors!
- Berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries
- Tropical flavors such as Coconut and pineapple
- Cherry
- Vanilla
- Honey
- White Chocolate
- Cream Cheese – think lemon cheesecake
- Herbs and spices like Lavender, Basil, Thyme and Ginger
- Nutty flavors like Almond and Pistachio
Fresh lemon juice is always best for flavor, but in a pinch, bottled juice can work.
Most lemon desserts stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days. Cakes and muffins can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days.
The acidity in lemons reacts with aluminum, which can give your dessert a metallic taste and even cause discoloration. For best results, use glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bakeware when making lemon-based treats!
