LEMON RASPBERRY DESSERT

If you follow me on Instagram, you’d know that I love lemons and berries (raspberries are my favorite!). They’re so flavourful and summer-y.I decided to bring both my favorite flavors together and make this simple layered dessert and I call it the Lemon Raspberry Dessert!

On a completely different note, I’m so glad to have been blogging regularly recently. I hope my readers have been enjoying my new recipes. Summer is such a perfect time to experiment with new flavors and ingredients. I have been doing just that, especially so with this Lemon Raspberry Dessert, and want everyone to do the same.

This Lemon Raspberry Dessert is a lot of fun and super simple. It has three interesting layers- raspberry compote, lemon mousse, and cake crumbs.

Let’s get baking and have fun!
