Best Frozen Lemon Raspberry Dessert Recipes

LEMON RASPBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut out two 9-inch round segments of parchment paper to line your cake pans with. Spray each pan generously - sides and bottom - with nonstick cooking spray, then place the parchment paper cut out in the bottom of the pans and spray again. It's important to make sure every bit of pan and paper are sprayed so your cakes don't get stuck. Set pans aside.
• In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), combine the butter, both sugars, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla extract; beat on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes (don't skimp on time here!). Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well to evenly combine the ingredients. Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until everything is just barely combined. You should still see some lumps and dry streaks. Turn mixer off. Add in the milk, sour cream, and lemon juice; use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients into the mixture, stirring until everything is incorporated, but being sure not to overmix. Set aside.
• In another bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Add the raspberries, and any remaining flour, to the batter and fold in by hand, using a rubber spatula, until just combined. Again, be sure not to over mix! Over mixing is very easy to do, and will result in a dry, dense cake.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the tops are firm and slightly golden, and a cake tester (or toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist (but not wet) crumbs clinging to it.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen any stuck bits, then turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• While the cakes cool, you can make the frosting.

Steps:

• For the crust: Place the cookies into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process the until the cookies become fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine. Press into an 11-by-2 1/2-inch springform pan and chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, place the raspberries in a bowl. Smash the raspberries using the back of a fork, then sprinkle with the sugar and set aside.
• Combine the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and pudding mix in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix on low until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the lemonade, lemon zest and food coloring and whip on medium-high until thick and fully combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the macerated raspberries until completely combined.
• Pour into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Freeze for at least 2 hours. (At this point, you can wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.)
• To serve: Remove from freezer and allow to thaw slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish each slice with fresh raspberries, a lemon zest twist and a little whipped cream.
