Celebrating citrus? These recipes are lemon bliss! Try this lemon coconut ice cream or make these delicious lemon bars.
Butter: Softened, unsalted butter adds richness and moisture. Granulated sugar: Provides sweetness to balance the tartness of lemon. Egg: One large egg acts as a binding agent. Lemon zest: For the burst of citrus. All-purpose flour: Forms the structural base of the cookies. Fine coconut: Balances the lemon flavor. (Keep some to garnish!) Baking powder: Makes the cookies lighter and fluffier. Sea salt: Enhances the overall flavor. The glaze: Powdered sugar and lemon juice combine to make a sweet and tangy glaze. Optional ingredients: Lemon oil will intensity the lemon flavor, and a few drops of yellow food coloring will add a vibrant color.
Flavor: The lemon cuts through the creaminess of the coconut, and the coconut smoothens out the zesty tartness of the lemon. Texture: The lemon juice delivers a citrus burst, while the zest adds a subtle chewiness that complements the slight crumble of the coconut. Acidity: Lemon is acidic, whereas the coconut is creamy. The lemon cuts through the rich coconut, resulting in a refreshing and lighter taste.
