Sweet lemon sauce is a refined addition to desserts with a delicate texture and bright citrus flavor. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where sauces were often used to enhance the taste of sweet dishes.

It can be served hot or cold - it pairs wonderfully with puddings, apple pie, and pears, adding a refreshing fruity note. This sauce not only gives desserts a special flavor but also adds elegance to any meal.
