About the dish

Limonnik is a refreshing Russian pie that is perfect for the summer heat. It is quite aromatic, and its taste is slightly sour due to the usage of crushed lemons with their peel intact. The pie is made with a shortcrust pastry shell that is filled with a combination of crushed lemons and sugar. When it cools, limonnik is typically cut into squares and sprinkled with icing sugar. It is recommended to pair this flavorful pie with a cup of coffee on the side.
