EASY LEMON DESSERT SAUCE

Tangy sweet easy lemon dessert sauce. Simple prep and only calls for four ingredients.

In my chewy gingersnap cookie post, I mention a easy lemon dessert sauce. Where here it is. It only uses four ingredients but really helps take your favorite desserts to another level. I use this recipe with the gingersnap cookies, but it’s great spooned over pound cake or used between the layers of a cake.
