It’s time for #SpringSweetsWeek 2024 hosted by Heather from Hezzi-D’s Recipe Box! Spring may not officially start until tomorrow, March 19th, but the sun has been shining and we are celebrating with plenty of spring sweets and a fun giveaway!

This year 17 food bloggers from around the country are sharing over 50 sweet recipes that are perfect for spring. So get ready to enjoy amazing spring treats like cupcakes, ice cream, pies, cakes, and more!

A huge thanks to our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors that are helping us give away some great prizes. Thank you to Melissa’s Produce, Taylor and Colledge, and Selefina Spices for your generosity and support. We have an incredible giveaway this year with three amazing prizes which you can read about HERE before entering using the Rafflecopter at the end of this post.

The first thing that I made for this week was lavender lemon creme brulee, made with not just any lemons, but Melissa’s Produce Meyer lemons! And then instead of vanilla I used lavender extract paste from Taylor & Colledge.

While you use the zest from two lemons, you only need the juice from one. Therefore, I decided to slice up the second one and place it on top before torching the sugar. Why be wasteful?

Normally, my husband hates floral flavors in food but lavender is thankfully one he can enjoy. But it’s not overpowering in this lavender lemon creme brulee in case you are apprehensive about it.

I particularly love lavender and lemon together as evident by my list of recipes featuring that combo such as shortbread cookies, whoopie pies, chess pie, madeleines, and even lavender vodka lemonade.
