Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

As we’ve said many times before, lemon desserts are some of our favorites, because of their delicious sweet-tart balance, and the fact that they always feel light and refreshing, as opposed to heavy and cloying. Below, we’ve rounded up our four favorites – one of which is healthier and lightened up – so we hope you love them as much as we do!


1. Zesty Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies

Cream cheese is the key ingredient here to make these cookies moist and delicious – check out the recipe here!

2. Sunny Lemon Icebox Cake

Icebox cakes are one of the easiest desserts to make and this one is hands-down our favorite! Get the recipe here!

3. Lemon Coconut Impossible Pie

It’s called Impossible Pie for a reason! This dessert requires only one batter, but results in a crust and a filling that are both equally delicious! Find the recipe here!

4. Lightened Up Lemon Cheesecake Bars

What’s better than a lightened up version of a classic dessert?? Nothing. These cheesecake bars are delicious, so whip ’em up and enjoy! Get the recipe here!
