This pie is a bit too sweet for me, but I think it would be perfect for people who like their desserts on the sweeter side.

The crust was a little too thick for my taste, but the filling was delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this pie was to make. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to follow the instructions easily and the pie turned out beautifully.

This lemon chess pie is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. The creamy filling is so smooth and luscious, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends.
