This lemon sauce recipe is just delicious. It is a perfect blend of tangy and sweet.
This velvety lemon concoction is actually a very versatile dessert sauce.
It tastes wonderful drizzled over dessert recipes like cake, bread puddings, ginger bread and cheesecake.
Personally, I love it so much, I don’t know if I care if I have anything to drizzle it over. My fingers, maybe?
