And, if you are making the blueberry sauce you will need to zest and juice 1/2 large lemon.

Add confectioners' sugar and beat another 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg; beat until completely combined, about 1 minute. Add butter, lemon juice, lemon and vanilla extract and zest; beat 1 minute; set aside.

- 5. Pour batter into 10-inch prepared spring-form pan. Gently pour cream cheese filling into center of cake batter; spread gently to within 1/2 of sides of pan (the filling should cover all of the cake batter except for 1/2-inch of the outter edge of the cake batter, 1/2-inch of the batter should be visable).
- 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until until toothpick inserted near the edge of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully remove sides from spring-form pan and allow cake to cool for 1 hour.
- 7. BLUEBERRY SAUCE: In a small saucepan, add the cornstarch and sugar. Whisk together. Stir in 1 cup of the blueberries, the lemon juice, zest, vanilla and salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the remaining blueberries and cook for 2 minutes. Cool and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- 8. WHIPPED CREAM TOPPPING: Pour cold whipping cream into a cold bowl. Beat on high speed of hand mixer until it starts to thicken; add sugar and lemon extract; continue beating until it forms a peak. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 9. When cake is completely cool; spinkle with powered sugar; slice and serve as is.
- 10. Or, add whipped cream and blueberry sauce! Keep any remaining cake refrigerated. ENJOY!

LEMON DELIGHT PIE
Steps:
- 1. Place egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, zest and salt in the top of a double boiler or in a metal bowl and place over boiling water. Beat with whisk constantly until thickened.
- 2. Let cool. Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into cooled lemon mixture. Pour into pie shell. Top with whipped cream. Refrigerate until set. Store in fridge.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma for lemon desserts. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Zest your lemons before juicing them. Lemon zest is the flavorful outer layer of the lemon peel. It adds a bright, citrusy flavor to desserts. To zest a lemon, use a Microplane zester or a fine grater to remove the zest from the lemon.
- Don't overcook your lemon desserts. Overcooking can make your desserts tough and dry. Cook them just until they are set.
- Serve your lemon desserts chilled. Lemon desserts are best served chilled. This helps to enhance the flavor of the lemon.
Conclusion:
Lemon desserts are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the bright, citrusy flavor of lemons. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a lemon dessert that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're looking for a classic lemon pie or something more unique, like a lemon meringue roulade, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
