lemon cheese
Noun: A thick, sweet, spreadable preserve made primarily from lemons, butter, eggs, and sugar. It is similar to a lemon curd, characterized by its rich, creamy, and tangy flavor.

It is typically spread on bread, toast, scones, or used as a filling in cakes and pastries. * She made a jar of delicious lemon cheese. * Would you like some lemon cheese on your scone? * The cake was filled with a layer of lemon cheese.
