The best part of having a citrus dessert is that you can enjoy the best of both worlds. It’ll have the perfect balance of sweet and sour in each bite that you’ll want to go back for more.
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit, among others, have an impressive list of health benefits and add a little zing to your desserts.
Here are some of the recipes you can make using these delicious fruits.
