Best Lemon-based dessert

[verka]

I am having the most intense craving for lemons. Where can I find the best lemon mousse, lemon tart or any other lemon based desserts in Boston and surroundings?

Thanks !

Just had the Limoncello Cheesecake at Prezza in the North End last night and it was pretty darn delicious.

The lemon pudding cake with blueberry sauce at Hammersly's is one of my favorites.

I like the lemon desserts at flour, although I qualify this by saying I like tart rather than sweet. :)

Not a dessert, but my lemon pregnancy cravings were always satisfied by the fresh lemonade at Cheesecake Factory.

I have the old Federalist recipe for their English Lemon Sponge Pudding, totally awesome. I also like rendezvous, and lemons!

I really like the lemon buttermilk pudding cake at the Blue Room brunch -- and then you get to have brunch too!

I was very impressed with the lemon and yuzu custards with lemon sorbet at Sensing in the Fairmont Battery Park hotel. I would call first before making a trip there just for that one dessert, as I'm sure their menu changes, but this was probably the most enjoyable dish we had there.

Lemon cheesecake with a raspberry swirl at the Cheesecake Factory.

I swoon over the lemon Mousse at IL Capriccio in Waltham. It is served with homemade candied lemon peel on top and a few biscotti on the side of the dish. It is divine.

Always with my qualifier of "I'm not a dessert person" but I thought the lemon panna cotta with raspberry coulis at Grotto was pretty good and refreshing.

The lemon souffle tart at Salts in Cambridge is one of my favorite desserts, lemon or otherwise.

Ditto.

A hearty third. I don't like desserts and I could lick the plate of this one.

Ah yes! I'll agree with this one. Now I have to go and have one this weekend.

I really really like this too (you"don't like desserts" people are blowing my mind). But I must point out that it's super easy to make the same thing at home. Look for "Meyer Lemon Buttermilk Pudding Cake" or something like that on Epicurious.

Meyer lemons may be out of season by now though...

Yesterday, I got some Meyer lemons at the Fresh Pond WF.

Just made something very similar last night with Meyer Lemons (which I'd never cooked with before) from Russo's. Very interesting and delicious.

In case anyone is wondering, I've always made that recipe with regular lemons and can't see how it could be any better with Meyers.

agreed: lemon pudding (very close to lemon curd) at Rendezvous.
