10 Best Citrus Desserts

Don’t we all need a little more zest in our lives during these grey winter months? As I perused this week’s idyllic Monochromatic Monday, I felt that much-needed burst of brightness through the screen and craved citrus in my own personal palate. The bitter-sweet hints of oranges, limes and the like are simply irresistible, especially when we grow so accustomed to typical cold-weather fixes. The Meyer lemon’s sunshine-y hue, for instance, can balance the main role in a tart or gorgeous, unpretentious garnish in a classic martini. The sweet possibilities for these in-season fruits are endless. I invite you to click through a collection of my favorites…and to share your own!
