Technically, citrus season is in the winter, but lemony desserts seem like pure summer. Balancing sweet and tart flavors is key and with the help of a few ingredients (like sugar and salt), it is easy to elevate them and make an extra satisfying dessert.In this course, you'll learn different ways to maximize all a lemon has to offer, as well as the best tools to use for each task. Then you'll put your skills to the test with three brightly flavored lemon desserts: Lemon Olive-Oil Tart, Lemon Bars, and Lemon Posset with Berries.

Beignets

Beignets, the French version of fried dough fritters, reached Louisiana in the 18th century. Today, beignets are the object of desire of every tourist in New Orleans. To replicate the airy, crisp texture and tangy yeast flavor of these classic New Orleans doughnuts, we used a super-hydrated dough, which means lots of steam, which creates an open, honeycombed structure as soon as the beignets hit the hot oil. Learn the steps to our easy Beignet recipe—plus how to avoid common missteps—in this online cooking class.

Icebox Key Lime Pie

For a take on this classic Icebox Key Lime Pie that didn't rely on raw egg yolks, we used a combination of instant vanilla pudding, gelatin, and cream cheese whipped together in the food processor with the usual lime juice and condensed milk to thicken our no-cook pie's filling to a perfect, smooth consistency. A full cup of fresh lime juice produced a pie with bracing lime flavor. Lime zest added another layer of flavor, and processing the zest with a little sugar offset its sourness and eliminated the annoying chewy bits.

Sheet Pan Suppers

Rimmed baking sheets, or half-sheet pans, are true workhorses in the test kitchen. We use them for everything from baking cookies or roasting root vegetables to toasting nuts and seeds. And slipping a wire rack inside makes the sheet pan even more versatile—it’s our go-to setup for roasting and broiling meats. But the true super power of the sheet pan is accommodating multiple ingredients to create a complete, flavor-packed, one-pan meal. In this course, you'll learn four recipes with different sheet pan setups to make sure everything cooks at the correct rate and comes out of the oven perfectly—and deliciously—cooked.
