I found this recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions were not very clear, and I had to guess at some of the steps.

These bars were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend them to anyone who loves lemon desserts.

I'm not usually a big fan of lemon desserts, but these bars were amazing. The lemon curd was the perfect balance of tart and sweet.

These lemon dream bars were a hit with my family! The combination of the tangy lemon curd and the sweet shortbread crust was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
