Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled or store-bought lemon juice can be used, but fresh lemons will give you a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce. Overcooking can make the sauce too thick and syrupy. Cook it just until it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, sugar, or butter to taste.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It can be served over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This lemon dessert sauce is a quick and easy way to add a burst of citrus flavor to your favorite desserts. It's also a great way to use up leftover lemons. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious sauce that will brighten up any dessert.
