These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The macaroon crust was especially delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I was disappointed with these tartlets. The macaroon crust was too dry and the lemon filling was too tart. I would not recommend this recipe.
