When it comes to springtime, it’s a time of transition when we crave lighter and brighter flavors of both food and desserts. I enjoy citrus flavored desserts and I love the irresistible taste of sweet and tart lemon confections. A delicious dessert recipe for a special occasion or anytime of the week, I made these semi-homemade mini lemon loaves that bring a sweet ending to a spring or summer day. I added the rich, sweet and lemon tangy flavor of lemon curd for the filling and topped each loaf with a lemon-coconut glaze – it creates a delightful contrast. This recipe is so easy and a snap to make!
Enjoy the fresh flavor of spring and celebrate the season with this brightly flavored dessert!
