This time of year I just seem to crave lemony flavors. I think lemon is a promise of spring with its bright, sunny flavor. Goodness knows we need that promise this year! These bright, lemony No Bake Lemon Cheesecake Parfaits will make you forget about a long, dreary, cold spring.

“…puddings are known as custards (or curds) if they are egg-thickened, blancmange if starch-thickened, and jelly if gelatin-based. Pudding may also refer to other dishes such as bread pudding and rice pudding…” Wikipedia
I seem to be on a bit of a lemon kick, lately. To be more specific, a frozen lemon dessert kick. I recently posted a down-home family fave, a Frozen Lemonade Pie, and now I’m posting this more sophisticated Frozen Lemon Meringue Cake.

If there was ever a luscious bit of airy, foamy heaven, this Lemon Curd Mousse Cake has got to be it! Crumbled shortbread cookies form the bottom crust, topped with a creamy, dreamy Lemon Mousse filling. What really seals the deal, though, is the bright lemon curd shimmering across the top. Just to pretty it up, it’s decorated with rosettes of the lemon mousse and slices of lemon.

Lemon Curd is a sunny, bright, fresh, silky lemony spread. I’ve always thought the name doesn’t do it justice. Think of it as a thick lemony pudding. It’s perfect to spread on items, used as a filling for cakes, or mixed into recipes. If you’ve never made lemon curd (or if you have), this easy recipe is transformative!
