I have a TON of lemons I need to use. Anyone have any good (and ideally easy) dessert recipes using lemons?
-
Lemon bars are surprisingly easy. I'm also a big fan of lemon cookies with lemon glaze.

Lemon bars are easy!

I've made these mini lemon tarts and they are really easy and tasty.

I used mini graham cracker crusts since that's what I could find in the store.I also made a really easy lemon curd but don't remember where I got the recipe. Or you could make lemon infused vodka.
-
I really like Barefoot Contessa's lemon curd tart. It's a little labor intensive, but pretty easy. You can also make extra lemon curd to give away for the holidays.
-
Lemon pound cake, or lemon meringue pie?
-
I made lemon curd and put it on those round shortcakes that you can buy at the store. Then top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. So good.

Not dessert in any way but you could also make preserved lemons: http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_preserved_lemons/

@Foodnerd81: I am with you on the vodka idea!
My husband made some limoncello with a giant bag of lemons we had... which reminds me some is in the freezer at the moment!
-
I made these as part of our Christmas cookie spread this year: http://www.swankyrecipes.com/glazed-lemon-sugar-cookies.html

Lemon cake with lemon sugar icing, lemon meringue pie...?
-
Lemon cheesecake.

I'd say if you have a ton of lemons to use, squeeze them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. That way you can simply defrost them and use along the line whenever you need fresh lemon. We end up with bags of lemons every year from mum/in law's trees, waaay more that we can use.

This poundcake is to DIE for. I also like to add poppyseeds sometimes.
-
@FannyMae: that's a great idea.
Thanks so much for all of these ideas! I literally have 20 lemons.
