I love the uniqueness of Meyer Lemons! These lemons offer a touch of sweetness without sacrificing lemon flavor. I think I taste a bit of orange too. Melissa’s Meyer Lemons brighten any meal from soups to dessert.
Adding cardamom to this mousse balances the richness and citrus so no flavor overpowers each other. It’s sort of like seasoning dishes with salt and pepper. Both are great alone, but so mch better together.
Of course every dessert is better with a touch of vanilla ;).
