Lemon Pistachio Cake
This dessert is kind of like a cake, but a little more like bars. Think about baklava, and the style of it, only a little more crunchy and with the zing of yummy lemon! And also a little more custardy filling. Like a cross between baklava and lemon pie! My mom loves lemon desserts and so do I. So I try to make them for her on her special days.
This lemon pistachio custard crinkle is so different and so delicious. It’s light and creamy and unlike anything else you’ll find!
