I'm not a fan of desserts that are too tart, but this one was just right. The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the crust and filling.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dessert didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

I love the way the lemon flavor comes through in this dessert. It's not too overpowering, but it's definitely noticeable. The crust is also the perfect consistency - not too thick or too thin.
