Creamy Lemon Dessert Sauce
I was sitting here in front of my computer, wondering what I should blog about next. We’ve eaten some yummy stuff the past couple weeks, and I want to share it all with you. But I couldn’t decide where to begin. Then I realized what I was spooning into my mouth while I was pondering.
This.
This Creamy Lemon Dessert Sauce.
Which could be a great accompanying sauce for so many things. Angel food cake (that’s what I made with it). Scones. Muffins. Gingerbread. There are so many possibilites.
And yet, my favorite way to eat it is with a spoon right out of the bowl. I think lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice is addicting. Oh my.
So what will you serve this dessert sauce with?
