Lemon Cheesecake with Lemon Curd for my 9th Blog Birthday

I don’t remember exactly what made me press the “publish” button exactly nine years ago. The first recipe I ever published, was this French lemon tart. Clearly I had made it on Valentine’s for my husband. We were fortunate enough to eat plenty of lemon tarts during a holiday in France so it was only natural that I would try to bake it at home. I believe that I simply decided to publish the recipe after I had shot a few pictures. I mean, my hubby loves anything citric, I won’t say no to some tangy lemon dessert. If you also like this flavor, check the 18 recipes with citric fruits. As my blog is turning 9 today, I decided to make this lemon cheesecake with lemon curd. Think a cookie crust, creamy cream cheese with a lot of lemon zest and juice, and lemon curd. I mean, I wanted LEMON flavor.

18 Recipes with Citrus Fruits

Have I mentioned that my hubby is a huge fan of citrus fruits? I will admit, I don’t mind them either. It probably comes as no surprise then that I have tons of recipes on my blog with a citrus touch. I love any fresh and yellow, especially in winter. I also don’t mind the vitamins (yeah, I know, we are still talking about cake). I learned not that long ago that lemons, limes and the like are usually harvested in winter, sometimes in January or February. For that reason I thought it might be a good time to share 18 recipes with these fruits, I hope you find something you enjoy!

#1 Lemon Mousse or Lemon Posset

This dessert comes together in minutes and just looks great in the lemons!

Refreshing Lime Bars

Is it already spring in your region? I currently live in Munich, in the south of Germany and just a few days ago we had heavy snowfall. Today the sun is shining brightly but it is brisk and cold outside. I feel that the snowdrops and crocus are all confused as to whether spring is actually around the corner or not. But be it as it may, I decided to introduce some refreshing lime bars, which are definitely going to bring spring to your plate. I love the fact that they are super easy to prepare, you don’t need a lot of ingredients and that you can serve them for Easter, brunch or anything that needs to be brigthened by some fresh yellow color. Also, these will intensify in flavor on day 2 or 3, so perfect if you want to make them in advance.

I decided I needed a super simple and quick recipe. There have been too many complicated ones recently. We simply don’t have time to be in the kitchen for so long, especially if it is supposedly made from scratch. How about these delicious lime bars? You can also make them with lemon or any other citric fruit. I love them with lime. The shortcrust is not prepared the regular way with cold butter, but don’t despair, melting the butter is actually what makes this so easy to prepare. And the lime curd is also done in a jiffy, you basically whisk together all ingredients and that’s it. Let the oven do the hard work.
