I love lemon desserts. It’s that tartness and bright flavor that brings me so much joy. If a lemon dessert is on a menu, you can bet I’m leaning towards getting it. I’ve rounded up my go-to five lemon desserts for summer. These are easy, no-fuss recipes when you’re looking for a little citrus zing!

The combination of lemon curd and So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Whipped Topping sounds so light and refreshing. Add a bunch of fresh berries and it’s the perfect pool side snack, a brunch side dish, or something for the kids to snack on (and make themselves!) during the dog days of summer.
No-bake is a win during a summer heat wave. Actually, I don’t mind baking in the summertime as long as it’s first thing in the morning. But this isn’t that! This particular recipe is heavy on dairy, so if that’s not for you, I’m sure you can swap out a dairy-free alternative for heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk.
A Starbucks black iced tea and a slice of their lemon loaf is a summertime favorite. But, a slice of Starbucks Lemon Loaf is $3.25! This is definitely not a 5-ingredient recipe but I’d rather spend the time making this and being able to enjoy it over a few days.
Popsicles on a hot summer night, dare I say more? Love that this recipe is just three-ingredients and that she suggests add-ins like gummy bears. Another fun one for kids to make.

This seven-ingredient vegan recipe does require an ice cream maker but don’t let that scare you off. Homemade ice cream is heavenly. How about topping it will fresh blueberries or raspberries?
