Citrus desserts are sweet treats that prominently feature citrus fruits like lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. These fruits add a refreshing tanginess and vibrant flavor, making them popular in various recipes. Common citrus desserts include lemon meringue pie, orange sorbet, and key lime pie. The bright acidity of citrus fruits balances sweetness, enhancing the overall taste of the dessert. Citrus zest, the outer peel of the fruit, is often used to intensify flavor. These desserts are enjoyed year-round and are especially popular in warmer months for their light and refreshing qualities.
