There's something about a good lemon dessert recipe that I just love. Bright, tart and fresh, lemon also makes for a perfect summer dessert.

Not that I don't love a good chocolate dessert, too, because I surely do, but lately lemon has had my heart.

From lemon pie to lemon cookies to lemon ice cream cake, lemon sits right alongside chocolate and vanilla among the crown jewels of dessert.

If you're looking for the best lemon dessert recipes going, I've got you covered with 11 delicious summer dessert recipes you don't want to miss.

 

1. Homemade Lemon Cupcakes Recipe

These homemade lemon cupcakes are topped with a creamy lemon buttermilk frosting with just the right amount of tangy lemon flavor. The cupcakes themselves are light and fluffy, packed with fresh lemon zest for a pop of bright, lemony flavor. Perfect for parties or picnics all summer long, this is about to become your go-to cupcake recipe.

Fast and easy to make, these chewy raspberry lemon blondies are just the right mix of tart and sweet - a simple dessert bar recipe stuffed with fresh berries then finished with a sweet lemon glaze poured over top. These blondies are a sweet finish to any summer meal, but they're also pretty amazing in the morning with a cup of coffee, too.

I love a good macaron and these bright, summery lemon rhubarb macarons might just be my favorite. Soft, lemony macarons sandwich lemon rhubarb buttercream and a dollop of rhubarb jam.
