The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I might try a different recipe for the crust next time.

I would have liked the torte to be a bit sweeter. I might add a little more sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but this torte was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I substituted raspberries for the blueberries and it was still delicious. This recipe is very versatile.

I love the nutty flavor of the crust. It's a nice change from the traditional graham cracker crust.

The lemon glaze on this torte is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a bit of tartness and sweetness that really complements the other flavors.
