The Best Meyer Lemon Recipes

When life gives you lemons, give them away and buy yourself some Meyer lemons instead {or grow yourself some! Check out Lemon, my Meyer Lemon Tree}. Well, I’m pretty sure that’s how the saying goes anyway. Give or take.

The point is you need to get your hands on some Meyer lemons, and quick. Because below you’ll find all my favorite Meyer lemon recipes. And trust me when I say you’ll want to make at least one {or eight} of them!

Meyer lemons are the best because they have that rich lemony flavor with just a kick of sweetness. Holy cats they’re good. A Meyer lemon is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. Now that I think of it, I wonder if there is a Meyer lemon sliced bread recipe? I’ll have to look into that. But for now, here are the best of the best Meyer lemon recipes:
Meyer Lemon Cardamom Crinkle Cookies: The problem with this post is I’m going to eventually run out of adjectives because all these recipes are so awesome. That’s what happens when you start with a Meyer lemon. Recipe magic happens. These little cookies are no exception. They might be small, but they pack a might flavor punch.
Meyer Lemon Buttermilk Pie: An entire pie full of Meyer lemony goodness. It looks like a glorified lemon tart, but it’s a million times better {and I have nothing against lemon tarts!}.
Meyer Lemon Ricotta Cookies I know what you’re thinking: lemons and ricotta cheese in the same recipe? Have I lost my mind? Thankfully, YES! The ricotta cheese taste bakes away and leaves these cookies super moist and super lemony.

Meyer Lemon Cake : It’s as delicious as it is pretty. This recipe is perfect if you’re hosting a bridal shower. Or a dinner party. Or a baby shower.  Or if you like dessert. Basically, there’s no wrong time to make this cake. Or eat it.

Meyer Lemon Marmalade: I don’t know about you, but there’s something about some homemade marmalade on some hot buttery toast that just makes me happy. Give me a cup of tea on the side and I’ll be the most content person on earth.
Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake Recipe This cake isn’t as fancy looking, but you can’t judge a book by it’s cover {or lack of frosting!}. This cake doesn’t even need frosting. It’s perfect just as it is. In my belly.
Meyer Lemon Ice Cream: I know, I know. Technically this recipe doesn’t call for Meyer lemons. But why would you NOT use them? They’ll make it that much more delicious. Promise.

Meyer Lemon Bars {aka The Best Lemon Bars in the World}: Seems like a pretty lofty nickname for a lemon bar. But I speak truth. I got the recipe from my friend Jane who got the recipe from the Smitten Kitchen who got the recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. That’s make these like 4 degrees of awesome {almost in Kevin Bacon territory}. Now if that isn’t a long line of trusted chefs, I’m not sure what is. Now do you believe me that they’re the best?

All those recipes not enough? Do you need another excuse to buy Meyer Lemons? Fine. Then you’ll want to take a look at Luscious Lemon Desserts by Lori Longbotham. Yummy is all I have to say!
